The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation. • Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. • When installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows 32bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed memory of less than 3GB is recommended. • This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb chips or double sided x16 memory modules. Notes on memory limitations • Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to 4 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a maximum of 2 GB DIMMs on each slot, but only DDR2-800 and DDR2-667 2 GB density modules are available for this configuration. 32-bit Windows® XP Windows® Vista 64-bit Windows® XP x 64 Edition Windows® Vista x 64 Edition • Some old-version DDR2-800 DIMMs may not match Intel® On-Die-Termination (ODT) requirement and will automatically downgrade to run at DDR-667.
