• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation. • Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. • If you are using a Windows 32-bit version operating system (e.g. 32-bit Windows, 32-bit Vista) without the Physical Address Extension (PAE) support, the system will allocate a certain amount of memory space for system devices. • We recommend that you install only a maximum of 3GB system memory when using a Windows 32-bit version operating system without the PAE. The excess over 3GB of installed memory will not cause any problem; however, the system can not use this excess memory space and the system will display less than the total size of physical memory installed. Notes on memory limitations • Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to 4 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a maximum of 2 GB DIMMs on each slot. 32-bit Windows® XP Windows® Vista 64-bit Windows® XP x64 Edition Windows® Vista x64 Edition Qualified Vendors Lists (QVL) DDR2 1066 MHz capability (for AM2+ platform only) Size Vendor Model CL Brand SS/ DS Component 1G 1G 1G 512MB 1G Kingston Corsair Corsair ADATA ADATA KHX8500D2K2/2GN CM2X1024-8500C5 CM2X1024-8500C5D M2OMIDG3H3160INC5Z M2OMIDG314720INC5Z N/A Kingston N/A Corsair 5 Corsair 5 ADATA 5 ADATA SS Heat-Sink Package DS Heat-Sink Package DS Heat-Sink Package SS Heat-Sink Package DS Heat-Sink Package DIMM support A* B* • • • • • • • • • • (continued on the next page) 1-14 Chapter 1: Product introduction
