Memory
Standard
1024-MB, 2048-MB, 4096, or 8192-MB 667-MHz DDR2 SDRAM; two SODIMM
slots supporting dual channel memory
Maximum
Upgradeable to 8192-MB with 4096-MB SODIMM in slots 1 and 2
Dual-channel
Maximized dual-channel performance requires SODIMMs of the same size and
speed in both memory slots.
NOTE:
Due to the non-industry standard nature of some third-party memory modules, we recommend HP
branded memory to ensure compatibility. If you mix memory speeds, the system will perform at the lower
memory speed. Full availability of 8 GB of memory requires Windows Vista Business 64-bit or Linux. With
Windows 32-bit operating systems, the amount of usable memory is dependent upon your configuration,
so that above 3 GB all memory may not be available due to system resource requirements.

* The term "10/100/1000" or "Gigabit" Ethernet indicates compliance with IEEE standard 802.3ab for
Gigabit Ethernet, and does not connote actual operating speed of 1 Gb/s. For high-speed transmission,
connection to a Gigabit Ethernet server and network infrastructure is required.
** Designed for downloads from 56K modem compliant sources. Maximum achievable download
transmission rates currently do not reach 56 KB/s, and will vary with line conditions. Modem availability is
subject to country regulatory approval.
