2.4 System memory 2.4.1 Overview The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets. A DDR module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 DIMM but has a 184-pin footprint. DDR DIMMs are notched to match the break on the socket and ensure correct installation. The figure illustrates the location of the DDR DIMM sockets: NCLV-D 104 Pins 80 Pins DDR_B2 DDR_A2 DDR_B1 DDR_A1 NCLV-D 184-Pin DDR DIMM sockets 2.4.2 Memory configurations You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB registered ECC DDR DIMMs into the DIMM sockets. • Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) for the latest QVL. • Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 8 GB system memory when you installed four 2 GB DDR memory modules. • This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb chips or double-sided x16 memory modules. • Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the recommended configurations on the next page. • When all four sockets are populated with 2 GB DIMMs (total 8 GB), the system may detect only less than 8 GB due to resource allocation on onboard devices.
