®
Xeon
®
Dual Core microprocessor
v Intel Xeon Quad Core microprocessor
v Intel Xeon Six Core microprocessor
Memory module(s)
v Supports up to six or 12 double data rate 3 dual inline memory modules (DDR3
DIMMs)
v Each microprocessor supports up to three or six memory modules
Note: The Intel Xeon microprocessor families compatible with this ThinkStation
™
computer feature an integrated memory controller, which provides the
microprocessor with direct access to the system memory. Because of this
design, the system memory speed will be determined by a number of
factors, including the microprocessor model and the type, speed, size
(capacity), and number of DIMMs installed. Refer to Appendix A, “System
memory speed,” on page 75 for the information on the supported system
memory speed for your computer model.
