3. HARDWARE SETUP
System Memory
3. H/W SETUP
NOTE:
At the time this User’s Manual was written, 256MB DIMMs are only avail-
able as Double-Sided registered memory. Using 2x2x2 SDRAM can greatly im-
prove the onboard graphics’ performance.
3.5.1
General DIMM Notes
•
When this motherboard operates at 100MHz, PC100-compliant modules must
be used because of the strict timing issues involved under this speed.
•
ASUS motherboards support SPD (
S
erial
P
resence
D
etect) DIMMs. This is the
memory of choice for best performance vs. stability.
•
SDRAM chips are generally thinner with higher pin density than EDO (Ex-
tended Data Output) chips.
•
BIOS shows SDRAM memory on bootup screen.
•
Single-sided DIMMs come in 16, 32, 64,128MB; double-sided come in 32, 64,
128, 256MB.
