System Components

Adding or replacing memory

The Rambus Dynamic Random Access Memory (RDRAM) Rambus In-line

Memory Modules (RIMMs) supported by your system board conform to the

following standards:

■

64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB RIMMs

■

Single- or double-sided configurations

■ 1 GB maximum system memory

When you are installing RIMMs, keep the following in mind:

■ A maximum of 32 devices, or actual RDRAM chips on the RIMMs, are

allowed in any memory configuration. RIMMs, like other memory

modules, consist of a printed circuit card onto which memory devices

are mounted. The number of devices on each module may not be readily

apparent, since the devices are covered by a metal heat spreader. Refer

to the chart below to determine how many devices are on each type of

RIMM module and for suggested memory configurations.

■ Continuity Modules (CRIMMs) are required in all blank memory slots.

■

No jumper settings are required for the memory size or type because this

information is automatically detected by the BIOS.

At the time this manual was printed, some RIMM module configurations were

not available for testing or sale. The following chart is not intended to imply

either availability or compatibility. As new RIMM configurations become

available, check the Gateway Web site (www.gateway.com) for updated

information.

Important Do not combine PC600 RIMMS with PC800 RIMMS in the

same computer. ECC and non-ECC type RIMMS may be

combined; however, if this is done the BIOS will set the

memory type as non-ECC.
