NI VXIpc-882 Installation Guide

Note

To optimize both memory capacity and system performance, use the same size and 

speed memory module in each of the two module slots. The use of different size modules 
in each slot is supported, but system performance will be slower than using two matched 
modules. However, two mismatched modules will result in better performance than using 
a single module.
