System Memory

The KTA55/pITX uses only 204 pin Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SODIMMs). One socket is
available for +1.5V unbuffered DDR3-800 or DDR3-1066 SDRAM of up to 4 GB.

The total amount of memory available on the SDRAM module is used for main memory and graphic memory
on KTA55/pITX. Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) manages the sharing of the system memory between
graphic controller and processor. Therefore the full memory size is not available for software applications.

Attention:

KONTRON Technology A/S cannot guarantee the correct functionality of the KTA55/pITX when a module faster then

DDR3-1066 is used.
