MEMORY
NOTE: 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. The entire
memory range is available to 64-bit operating systems.
1 The total amount of available memory will be less than 4GB. The amount less depends on the actual system configuration. To fully utilize 4GB or
more of memory requires a 64-bit enabled processor and 64-bit operating system.
