Fujitsu Siemens Computers N6470 manual Memory Upgrade Module

Memory Upgrade Module

Your notebook has two memory slots, and the system comes with 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB of factory-installed memory. If you have a module installed in only one slot, you can increase your memory capacity by installing another memory module in the empty slot or by increasing the size of the single installed module. In order to optimize the dual-channel design, modules of equal capacity should be used. The minimum amount of memory in your system is 1GB.

•

SYSTEMS WITH MICROSOFT WINDOWS VISTA INSTALLED REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF 512 MB OF MEMORY, BUT 1 GB OR MORE IS RECOMMENDED.

IF 4 GB OF MEMORY IS INSTALLED IN YOUR SYSTEM, ONLY 3.25 GB ARE USABLE, DUE TO OPERATING SYSTEM CONSTRAINTS.

Your notebook supports dual-channel memory, which can have a significant effect upon your system’s performance. In order to support dual-channel memory, two DIMM modules must be installed in your computer.
