Installing Additional Memory

The computer comes with double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR-SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

DIMMs

The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with industry-standard DIMMs. These memory module slots are populated with at least one preinstalled memory module. To achieve the maximum memory support, you may be required to replace the preinstalled DIMM with a higher capacity DIMM.

DDR-SDRAM DIMMs

For proper system operation, if your system supports DDR-SDRAM DIMMs, the DIMMs must be industry-standard 184-pin, unbuffered PC 1600 200 Mhz- or PC2100 266 Mhz-compliant, 2.5 volt DDR-SDRAM DIMMs. The DDR-SDRAM DIMMs must support CAS latency 2 or 2.5 (CL = 2 or CL = 2.5). They must also contain the mandatory JEDEC SPD information. DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported; the system will not start using unsupported DIMMs.

The Intel 845-G chipset does not support ECC memory.
