1.7.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline
Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has
a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are
notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:
Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than
4 GB system memory when you installed two 2 GB DDR2 memory
modules.
For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory
modules from the same vendor. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.
com) for the latest Qualified Vendors List.
