* The M9036A has two 240-pin, RDIMM sockets that support DDR3-1333 REG/ECC RAM sticks. Each socket
supports memory modules up to 4GB for a total memory capacity of 8GB. The standard M9036A configuration
is a single 4GB memory module with a factory option to add a second 4GB memory module. The ability of
addressing 4GB memory is operating system dependent. A 32-bit OS system may not be able to address the
full 4GB memory space. To use the full 4GB/8GB memory, a 64-bit OS must be used.
