Memory

The computer comes with double data rate 2 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR2- SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to four industry-standard DIMMs. These memory sockets are populated with at least one preinstalled DIMM. To achieve the maximum memory support, you can populate the system board with up to 4 GB of memory configured in a high- performing dual channel mode.

For proper system operation, the DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs must be:

industry-standard 240-pin

unbuffered, PC2-5300 667 MHz-compliant or PC2-6400 800 MHz-compliant

1.8 volt DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs

The DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs must also:

support CAS latency 5 DDR2 667 Mhz (5-5-5 timing), CAS latency 5 DDR2 800 Mhz (5-5-5 timing), and CAS latency 6 DDR2 800 Mhz (6-6-6 timing)

contain the mandatory JEDEC SPD information

In addition, the computer supports:

512Mbit and 1Gbit non-ECC memory technologies

single-sided and double-sided DIMMs

DIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 DDR devices; DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported

NOTE: The system will not operate properly if you install unsupported DIMMs.

There are four DIMM sockets on the system board, with two sockets per channel. The sockets are labeled XMM1, XMM2, XMM3, and XMM4. Sockets XMM1 and XMM2 operate in memory channel A. Sockets XMM3 and XMM4 operate in memory channel B.
