Memory Notes
|
0GB Dual channel ECC, non-ECC unbuffered DDR2 1066, 800, 667 MHz SDRAM up to 16GB. There are 4 DIMM slots.
Due to AMD CPU limitation, DDR2 1066 is supported by AM2+ CPU for one DIMM per channel only.
Due to OS limitation, when installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed memory of less than 3GB is recommended.
