Specific Memory Information in this Announcement:
32MB of error correcting code (ECC)-on-SIMM memory to eliminate LAN disruption caused by random memory errors.

All models feature 32MB of ECC-on-SIMM memory to virtually eliminate server down time caused by intermittent memory errors.

32MB of ECC-on-SIMM, 70 ns memory is standard, with total system memory expandable to 256MB.

PC Server 320 supports a maximum of 256MB of ECC-on-SIMM memory. All supported system memory is addressable through direct memory access (DMA). Maximum system memory can be achieved in all models by using 32MB SIMMs in each of the eight memory SIMM sockets. All memory SIMMs must be installed in matched pairs. Refer to the Compatibility Section of the Sales Manual or contact your IBM reseller or IBM representative for supported ECC-on-SIMM memory options.
