MEMory
Your computer supports a maximum of 8GB of memory when you use four 2GB DIMMs; however, 32-bit operating systems, such as the
32-bit version of Microsoft
computer require address space in the 4GB 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 4GB.
The entire 8GB 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.
