Additional Notes
- Dual channel memory architecture is accessible through the 2 slot configuration to improve integrated graphics performance.
- The 16 GB capacity limit across 2 slots restricts individual module density to 8 GB per socket.
- Installing modules with frequencies above 2400 MHz results in automatic downclocking to match the system bus speed.
- The SO-DIMM form factor requires 260 pin hardware for physical compatibility with the motherboard interface.
- Upgrading memory requires the removal of hidden screws located beneath the rubber feet on the bottom chassis.
- Mismatching memory speeds between the 2 slots forces the system to operate at the frequency of the slowest module.
- The 2400 MHz bus speed serves as a bandwidth bottleneck for CPU intensive tasks compared to newer DDR4 standards.
- Total memory capacity is shared with the onboard video controller which reduces the actual RAM available for system applications.
