NOTE: Due to the non-industry standard nature of some third-party memory modules, we recommend HP

 

 

branded memory to ensure compatibility. If you mix memory speeds, the system will perform at the lower

 

 

memory speed. Full availability of 4 GB or more of memory requires Windows Vista Business 64-bit or

 

 

Linux. With Windows 32-bit operating systems, the amount of usable memory is dependent upon your

 

 

configuration, so that above 3 GB all memory may not be available due to system resource requirements.

* The term "10/100/1000" or "Gigabit" Ethernet indicates compliance with IEEE standard 802.3ab for

 

 

Gigabit Ethernet, and does not connote actual operating speed of 1 Gb/s. For high-speed transmission,

 

 

connection to a Gigabit Ethernet server and network infrastructure is required.

 

 

** Designed for downloads from 56K modem compliant sources. Maximum achievable download

 

 

transmission rates currently do not reach 56 KB/s, and will vary with line conditions. Modem availability

 

 

is subject to country regulatory approval.
