For information on the type of memory supported by your computer, look under "Memory" in the "Technical Specifications" section.

NOTICE: Before you install new memory modules, download the most recent BIOS for your computer from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.

DDR Memory Overview

•See the label in the upper-right corner of the module to determine the module's capacity.

NOTE: Always install DDR memory modules in the order indicated on the system board.

•The recommended memory configurations are:

¡A memory module installed in connector DIMM_A

or

¡A pair of matched memory modules installed in connectors DIMM_A and DIMM_B

NOTICE: Do not install ECC memory modules.

•If you install mixed pairs of PC2100 (DDR 266-MHz) and PC2700 (DDR 333-MHz) memory, the modules function at the slowest speed installed.

•Be sure to install a single memory module in DIMM_A, the connector closest to the processor, before you install modules in the other connector(s).

•The actual speed of the SDRAM memory channel will depend on the speed of the processor's front side bus.
