Upgrades
- CPU : Upgradable using Pentium III up to 550 MHz.
- RAM : Upgradable up to 512 MB using 3.3 V gold-plated SDRAM DIMMs. The Spirit motherboard only accepts 168-pin DIMM modules. Only gold-plated DIMMs may be used, as the sockets on the motherboard are also gold-plated, and oxidation must be prevented. Only use unbuffered PC100 3.3 V SDRAM. Single or double-sided DIMMs may be used. SDRAM DIMMs may be up to 256 MB big. Memory size and speed can vary between sockets. Parity (×72) DIMMs can be installed, ECC memory checking is supported.
