System Memory
The Aptiva Type 2162 has two sockets for 168-pin, Gold, SDRAM
(Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) DIMM modules.
DIMM Identification
168-pin memory DIMMs can usually be identified by the information on the
chip modules. (for example,
2Mx64, SDRAM ). To determine the DIMM
capacity from the above example, divide 64 bits by 8 bytes and multiply that
answer by 2M, hence, DIMM = 16 MB. DIMMs that are not clearly labeled
cannot be identified other than by part number. Consult the DIMM
manufacturer documentation to identify DIMMs.
