Notes:

 X indicates a populated DIMM slot.  If adding at least four DIMMs (with two CPUs 

installed), the confi gurations with DIMMs spread over both CPUs (and not like the con-
fi guration in row 5) will result in optimized performance.  Note that the fi rst two DIMMs 
must be installed in the CPU1 memory slots.
