System Details
Unit Environment and
Operating Conditions
General Unit Operating Guidelines
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct moisture and the extremes of heat and
cold, to ensure that unit is operated within the specified operating range.
Leave a 10.2 cm (4 in) clearance on all vented sides of the computer to permit the required
airflow.
Never restrict airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes.
Do not stack computers on top of each other or place computers so near each other that they are
subject to each other's re-circulated or preheated air.
Occasionally clean the air vents on the front, back, and any other vented side of the computer.
Lint, dust and other foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow.
If the computer is to be operated within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must
be provided on the enclosure, and the same operating guidelines listed above will still apply.
Temperature Range
Operating: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)*
Non-operating: -22° to 140° F( -30° to 60° C)
Relative Humidity
Operating: 10% to 90% (non-condensing at ambient)
Non-operating: 5% to 95% (non-condensing at ambient)
Maximum Altitude
Operating: 10,000 ft (3048 m)
(unpressurized)
Non-operating: 30,000 ft (9144 m)
*NOTE: Operating temperature is de-rated 1.0 deg C per 300 m (1000 ft) to 3000 m (10,000 ft)
above sea level, no direct sustained sunlight. Maximum rate of change is 10 deg C/Hr. The upper limit
may be limited by the type and number of options installed.

Memory
915GV Express chipset
DDR2 SYNCH DRAM NON-ECC MEMORY
The Intel 915GV Express chipset supports non-ECC DDR2 PC2-4200 (533-MHz) memory. Memory upgrades are accomplished by
adding single or multiple DIMMs of the same or varied sizes. This chart does not represent all possible memory configurations.
HP recommends dual-channel symmetric configurations for maximum performance. For best performance, add the same amount
of total memory to each channel and do not mix speeds. For dual-channel symmetric performance, the total amount of memory in
each channel must be equal. If speeds are mixed, speed will default to the slowest DIMM.
MAXIMUM MEMORY
Supports up to 4-GB of DDR2 SYNCH DRAM. Above 3-GB, all memory may not be available due to system resource requirements.
Not all memory configurations possible are represented below.

Memory
Graphics memory is shared with system memory. Graphics memory usage
can vary from 8-128 MB depending on the amount of system memory
installed and system load. 8 MB is pre-allocated for graphics use at system
boot time. Additional memory is allocated for graphics using Intel's Dynamic
Video Memory Technology (DVMT) to balance the optimum amount of
memory between graphics and other system use.
Memory < 256 MB: 8 MB pre-allocated (for DOS) + 24 MB DVMT : max

Not all modes will support video playback and some supported modes may use software MC (motion compensation) rather than
hardware MC. Not all modes will support 3D acceleration depending on the system configuration (e.g., resolution selected, size of
frame buffer, number of installed memory modules, etc.).
NOTE: Other resolutions and refresh rates may be selectable but are not recommended.
