Memory Options
Each memory option consists of two identical modules. Each
drawer supports up to either two or four memory options, for
a total of 4 or 8 gigabytes of memory. Memory options are
supported in the following sizes:
 128 Mbytes
 512 Mbytes
 1 Gbyte
 2 Gbytes
The 128-Mbyte option is implemented with synchronous
DRAM technology, while the larger sizes are EDO
technology.
