DDR2 Memory Overview

l 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 in the upper-right corner of the module to

determine the module's capacity.

The recommended memory configurations are:

¡ A pair of matched memory modules installed in DIMM connectors 1 and 2

¡ A pair of matched memory modules installed in DIMM connectors 1 and 2 and another matched pair installed in DIMM connectors 3 and 4

l If you install mixed pairs of DDR2 400-MHz (PC2-3200) and DDR2 533-MHz (PC2-4200) memory, the modules function at the slowest speed installed.

Similarly, if you install memory modules with mixed CAS Latency (CL) rates, the modules function at the speed and CAS latency capabilities of the

slowest DIMM.

l Be sure to install a single memory module in DIMM connector 1, the connector closest to the processor, before you install modules in the other

connectors.
