System memory
2.4.1
Overview
The motherboard comes with four 184-pin Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline
Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets:
2.4.2
Memory Configurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR DIMMs into
the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
•
Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations
may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the
recommended configurations in Table 1.
•
In dual-channel configurations, install only identical (the same type and
size) DDR DIMM pairs for each channel.
•
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the
same vendor.
•
Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 4 GB
system memory whne you installed four 1 GB DDR memory modules.
•
Due to chipset limitation, DIMM modules with 128 Mb memory chips or
double-sided x16 memory chips are not supported in this motherboard.
