Re: Size of memory that can be used with old IPFire Prime systems

[Michael Tremer <michael.tremer@ipfire.org>]

Hello Adolf,

Hmm, this might be difficult. I remember that this processor was a little bit limited in how much RAM it supports.

However, the Intel Ark says max. 2.44 GiB (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/58916/intel-atom-processor-n2600-1m-cache-1-6-ghz/specifications.html).

I am not sure how to put this in, but generally that seems to be not much higher than two.

Best,
-Michael
