Q: How can I increase the memory performance for the Gateway 9315 Server?

A: Memory performance is increased by most effectively populating the DIMM slots. Mixing of DDR-266 and DDR-333 DIMMs is supported between banks of memory. However, when DIMM types are mixed, DDR-333 run at DDR-266 speeds.

Following are the DDR-266 and DDR-333 DIMM population rules:

  1. DIMM banks must be populated in order starting with the slots farthest from MCH.

  2. Single rank DIMMs must be populated before dual rank DIMMs.

  3. A maximum of four DIMMs can be populated when all four DIMMs are dual rank DDR-333 DIMMs.
