Expanding memory
The random-access memory (RAM) in your computer can be expanded.
Installing additional RAM adds more memory chips to your computer and
expands its capabilities. The Technical Information booklet that came with
your computer describes how additional memory can be installed in your
Power Macintosh.
Memory for your computer is provided in packages called Dual Inline
Memory Modules (DIMMs). Adding dynamic RAM (DRAM) DIMMs
increases your computer’s memory. The DIMMs must be the correct type for
your computer, and can be installed one-at-a-time. Installing a cache DIMM
can also increase your computer’s performance. The memory used to display
images on the screen (called video RAM, or VRAM) can also be expanded
by installing DIMMs.
It is very important that the DIMMs be correctly installed in your Power
Macintosh, because incorrect installation can result in errors, unpredictable
results, and damage to your equipment and data.
WARNING
Although instructions for installing DIMMs are provided in
the Technical Information booklet that came with your computer, Apple
Computer recommends that you have an Apple-certified technician
install additional DRAM, VRAM, or cache DIMMs. Consult the service
and support information that came with your computer for instructions
on how to contact an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple for
service. If you install additional DIMMs yourself, you risk damaging
your equipment and this damage would not be covered by the limited
warranty on your computer. See an Apple-authorized dealer or
service provider for additional information about this or any other
warranty question.
