About Installing a Memory

Module

The motherboard contains 184-pin DDR DIMM

(double data rate dual in-line memory modules)

sockets. The number of sockets depends on

which model you have.

DDR DIMM

Warning:

Using the wrong type of

memory module could damage the

system.

DDR DIMMs must be 184-pin unbuffered DDR

SDRAM (double data rate synchronous

dynamic random access memory). Your PC

ships with one or more memory modules, but

you can replace the existing memory modules

with higher-capacity ones. You can install

128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1024 MB

(1GB) memory modules in the PC.

Note:

Some memory configurations vary, depending

on your PC model. For example, 512 MB and

1024 MB DDR DIMM memory modules are not

compatible with all PC models.
