Adolf,

If you have access to a 4GB DDR3 SODIMM (even if you temporarily grab one from an old laptop or borrow from a colleague), you could try installing it.  I wouldn't be surprised if the system booted up and either supported the full 4GB or limited it to 2.44GB, but worked nonetheless.  It won't hurt anything to try.  Worst case, the system does not power up until you replace the original SODIMM.

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

Hi Arne and everyone,

In the monthly conf call I forgot to ask this question.

I have an old IPFire Prime system which has a 2GB sodimm memory card installed. 
The memory is very close to fully utilised so that periodically the swap space 
gets used for memory.

I would like to buy some larger memory for it but I need to know if I can use 
8GB cards with it or if it is limited to 4GB as the largest memory size that is 
usable (or worst case, that I have to stay with the 2GB card if that is the 
biggest supported).

Anyone know what the max ram memory that can be supported by the Prime systems 
is?

Regards,
Adolf.
