Configuration Details | Installation notes | Fixed onboard memory: 0MB Memory in first bank: 512MB Total memory: 512MB
Maximum memory: 8GB
Memory sockets: 4 Banks scheme: 2 bank(s) x 2 socket(s)
| - Single rank or Dual rank memory is not an issue in this system because there is only four memory slots.
- The minimum memory configuration is one DIMM, installed in the DIMM 1B socket (the socket farthest from the CPU sockets). However, for optimum performance and dual-channel interleave operation, a minimum of two DIMMs should be installed. DIMMs on channel A (DIMM 1A and 2A) are paired with DIMMs on channel B (DIMM 1B and 2B) to enable 2-way interleaving.
- Populate both DIMMs in bank 1 (DIMM 1B and 1A) first, before populating DIMMs in bank 2 (DIMM 2B and 2A). Bank 2 must be populated in pairs.
- For the system to function, DIMM modules must be installed or removed in matched pairs, following the socket sequence :DIMM 1B and 1A first, then DIMM 2B and 2A. DIMM modules of the same type, banking, stacking technology, and manufacturer must be installed in the Altos G530 system.
- Altos G530 supports memory sparing function. To provide a more fault tolerant system, Altos G530 includes special hardware to support fail-over to a spare DIMM device in the event that a primary DIMM in use exceeds a specified threshold of runtime errors. One of the DIMMs installed per channel will not be used, but kept in reserve. In the event of significant failures in a particular DIMM, it and its corresponding partner in the other channel (if applicable), will, over time, have its data copied over to the spare DIMM held in reserve. When all the data has been copied, the reserved DIMM will be put into service and the failed DIMM will be removed from service. Only one sparing cycle is supported. If the memory sparing feature is not enabled, then all DIMMs will be visible in normal address space. Refer to Memory Configuration on page 101 for more information about configuring the memory spare parameter in the BIOS Setup Utility.

The more RAM you have installed in your computer, the more applications you can run without slowing down the system. For example, if you are installing a 2GB upgrade, it will allow for a greater potential performance increase in comparison to installing a 1GB or 512MB upgrade. If you are running applications on your computer that like to take advantage of the RAM installed, such as photo or video editing applications, it is a case of the more RAM installed the better the application will perform.

The operating system (or OS) your computer has installed also has a maximum RAM limit. The most common OS, Microsoft Windows generally ships as a 32-bit version. The downfall of a 32-bit OS is when more than 4GB of RAM is installed; the OS will read between 3.0GB to 3.6GB depending on the hardware installed in your computer. If you are running a 64-bit OS it will recognise more than 4GB of RAM. Click here for more information.
Installing memory in your computer is classified by most manufacturers as a Do It Yourself (DIY) upgrade. The Upgradeable Memory Installation Guide is included with every order which is to be used with your computers owner's manual. A PDF copy of the guide is available for download here. We provide tech support over the phone in case you require any further assistance performing the memory upgrade procedure.
A majority of computers sold do not require pairs to be installed. Where computers have Dual or Triple channel technology, installing memory in pairs will see a slight improvement in performance. With some computers, pairs can be a requirement, check your system configuration details table for more information.
We accept payment by either credit card (AMEX, MasterCard, VISA) or Bank Deposit. We do not charge any fees for orders paid by credit cards. For customers wishing to pay by bank deposit, the full payment instructions will be emailed to you once the order has been placed.
