We consider a conserved phase-field system on a tridimensional bounded domain. The heat conduction is characterized by memory effects depending on the past history of the (relative) temperature $\vartheta$. These effects are represented through a convolution integral whose relaxation kernel $k$ is a summable and decreasing function. Therefore the system consists of a linear integrodifferential equation for $\vartheta$ which is coupled with a viscous Cahn-Hilliard type equation governing the order parameter $\chi$. The latter equation contains a nonmonotone nonlinearity $\phi$ and the viscosity effects are taken into account by the term $-\alpha \Delta\chi_t$, for some $\alpha \geq 0$. Thus, we formulate a Cauchy-Neumann problem depending on $\alpha$. Assuming suitable conditions on $k$, we prove that this problem generates a dissipative strongly continuous semigroup $S^\alpha (t)$ on an appropriate phase space accounting for the past histories of $\vartheta$ as well as for the conservation of the spatial means of the enthalpy $\vartheta+\chi$ and of the order parameter. We first show, for any $\alpha \geq 0$, the existence of the global attractor $\mathcal A_\alpha$. Also, in the viscous case ($\alpha > 0$), we prove the finiteness of the fractal dimension and the smoothness of $\mathcal A_\alpha$.
