Upgrading RAM
You can change the amount of installed RAM on the NI PXI-8195/8196 by
upgrading the SO-DIMM.
To upgrade the RAM, remove the NI PXI-8195/8196 from the PXI chassis.
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.
National Instruments offers the following types of SO-DIMMs for use with
the NI PXI-8195/8196 controller.

Note
National Instruments has tested and verified that the DDR2 SO-DIMMs we sell
work with the NI PXI-8195/8196. We recommend you purchase your DDR2 SO-DIMM
modules from National Instruments. Other off-the-shelf DDR2 SO-DIMM modules
are not guaranteed to work properly.
