Memory
You can increase your computer memory by installing memory modules on the system board.
Your computer supports DDR2 memory.
NOTE:
Buffered memory is not supported on this computer.
DDR2 Memory Overview
DDR2 memory modules should be installed in pairs of matched memory size, speed, and technology. If the DDR2 memory
modules are not installed in matched pairs, the computer will continue to operate, but with a slight reduction in performance.
See the label on the module to determine the module capacity.
NOTE:
Always install DDR2 memory modules in the order indicated on the system board.
The recommended memory configurations are:
A pair of matched memory modules installed in DIMM connectors 1 and 2 (white securing clips)
or
A pair of matched memory modules installed in DIMM connectors 1 and 2 and another matched pair installed in DIMM
connectors 3 and 4 (black securing clips)
NOTICE:
Do not install ECC memory modules.
NOTE:
If you install DDR2 667-MHz memory, the speed is reduced to 533 MHz.
