The maximum size of a card that fits in the G-Series is 206 mm (L) × 98 mm (H) × 16 mm (D). But due to the different layout designs of each model and VGA card, we strongly suggest to check our VGA support list for each model or test before purchasing the VGA card.

How come when I only DIMM 2 slot memory limitations?
There are some limitations with Athlon 64 socket 939, the DIMM 2 slot in the SN21G5 has limited functionality when only one RAM module is installed. Note, that when two modules are installed, this RAM issue disappears, and the SN21G5 functions completely normally in dual-channel mode. For this reason we suggest that you install any RAM module into the DIMM 1 slot first, reserving the DIMM 2 slot for the second module or future upgrades.
