2.4 System memory 2.4.1 Overview The motherboard comes with four 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: ® DIMM_A1 DIMM_A2 DIMM_B1 DIMM_B2 P5K-E P5K-E 240-pin DDR2 DIMM sockets Channel Channel A Channel B Sockets DIMM_A1 and DIMM_A2 DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2 • This chipset officially supports DDR2-800 MHz. With the ASUS Super Memspeed Technology, this motherboard natively supports up to DDR21066 MHz and provides more ratio setting items than the chipset officially supports. See the table below. FSB 1333 1333 1333 1066 1066 1066 DDR2 1066* 800 667 1066* 800 667 • *If you install a DDR2-1066 memory module, make sure that you set the DRAM Frequency item in BIOS to [DDR2-1066MHz].

Overview
The motherboard comes with four 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:

This chipset officially supports DDR2-800 MHz. With the ASUS Super
Memspeed Technology, this motherboard natively supports up to DDR2-
1066 MHz and provides more ratio setting items than the chipset officially
supports. See the table below.
*If you install a DDR2-1066 memory module, make sure that you set the
DRAM Frequency
item in BIOS to [DDR2-1066MHz]. See section
4.4.1
