The AMD Phenom processor requires the 8 Mbit (1 MB) NVRAM chip and is therefore available only on models that
include the 8 Mbit (1 MB) NVRAM chip. If your computer has the 8 Mbit (1 MB) NVRAM chip and the AMD Phenom

Global Standard Products (GSP) are a subset of Dell's relationship products that are managed for availability and
synchronized transitions on a worldwide basis. They ensure the same platform is available for purchase globally.
This allows customers to reduce the number of congurations managed on a worldwide basis, thereby reducing
their costs. They also enable companies to implement global IT standards by locking in specic product congurations
worldwide. The following GSP processors identied below will be made available to Dell customers.

MEMory
Your computer supports a maximum of 8 GB of memory when you use four 2 GB DIMMs; however, 32-bit operating
systems, such as the 32-bit version of MicrosoftWindows XP, can only use a maximum of 4 GB of address space.
Moreover, certain components within the computer require address space in the 4 GB range. Any address space
reserved for these components cannot be used by computer memory; therefore, the amount of memory available
to the operating system is less than 4 GB.
The entire 8 GB memory range is available to 64-bit operating systems.
Memory modules should be installed in pairs of matched memory size, speed, and technology. If the memory modules
are not installed in matched pairs, the computer will continue to operate, but with a slight reduction in performance.

requires a 64-bit enabled processor and 64-bit operating system.
