- Maximum Memory: 4096MB
- USB Support: 2.x Compliant
- Standard Memory: 256MB removable
- Slots: 4 (2 banks of 2)
- Graphics Support: PCI Express x16
- Although the memory can be installed one module at
a time, the best performance comes from using matched pairs of modules.
Once you've purchased compatible
memory modules (chips), you must install them.
Q:
What memory goes into my
computer, and will a faster speed be backward-compatible?
A: DDR memory with support for DDR PC3200,DDR
PC4000 speeds.
Because DDR memory is backward-compatible, you can safely
upgrade your system with any of the guaranteed-compatible DDR speeds listed
below, even if your manual calls for PC1600 or PC2100 speeds.
Q:
How much memory can my
computer handle?
A: 4096MB.
Adding the maximum amount of memory will improve performance
and help extend the useful life of your system as you run increasingly
demanding software applications in the future.
Q:
Do I have to install
matching pairs?
A: Yes.
Your system requires that you install memory in pairs.
Q:
Does my computer support
dual-channel memory?
A: Yes.
To benefit from the performance advantages offered by
dual-channel systems, you should install memory in identical pairs.
Installing a kitted pair is the best way to ensure that your modules are
identical, right down to the chip count.
Q:
Does my computer support
ECC memory?
A: No.
Your system does not support ECC. Because ECC and non-ECC
modules should not be mixed within a system, install the same type of
modules that are already in your system.
Q:
Will my system recognize the
maximum upgrade?
A: Possibly
How much memory your Windows OS will recognize depends on
which version of Windows you are running. 32-bit versions of Windows will
see (and utilize) only 3GB or 3.5GB. To utilize more memory, install a
64-bit version of your OS. More information about OS memory maximums can be
