1.7.2 Memory configurations You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets. • For dual-channel configuration, the total size of memory module(s) installed per channel must be the same (DIMM_A1 = DIMM_B1). • Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualified Vendors List on next page for details. • If you are using a Windows 32-bit operating system (e.g. 32-bit Windows XP, 32-bit Windows 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 3 GB 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. • This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb chips or double-sided x16 memory modules. . 1.7.3 DDR2 Qualified Vendors List The following table lists the memory modules that have been tested and qualified for use with this motherboard.
