1985.0. "AlphaServer 400 4/233 with 288MB of memory." by SALEM::HARRIS_M () Tue May 27 1997 13:44

    Hi,
    
     Quick question.. I've got an AlphaServer 400.. that has 288MB of
    memory in it. In reading the manual it states that only 192MB are 
    supported? Will this cause any problems having 288mb of memory in it?
    
    			thanks,
    
    			   Matt

	When the Avanti/Chinet systems first shipped, you could only populate 192 MBytes of memory, using the largest SIMMs then available. The real limit is 384 MBytes, using 64 MByte SIMMs that you can get now. If you put in 288 MBytes, and the firmware and the operating system saw all of it, you should be all set. I don't know whether this configuration ever got qualified, so it may not be officially supported. -- Kenny House
