Important notes on memory configurations • 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. • Use the blue DIMM slots first. • 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, otherwise, the system may run in a lower frequency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. • When all four sockets are populated with 1 GB DIMMs (total 4 GB), the system may detect only 3583 MB due to the Southbridge resource allocation. • Three DDR DIMMs installed into any three memory sockets will function in single channel mode. • Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB.

•
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.
•
Use the blue DIMM slots first.
•
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, otherwise, the
system may run in a lower frequency. For optimum compatibility, it
is recommended that you obtain memory modules from
the same
vendor.
•
When all four sockets are populated with 1 GB DIMMs (total 4 GB),
the system may detect only 3583 MB due to the Southbridge
resource allocation.
•
Three DDR DIMMs installed into any three memory sockets will
function in single channel mode.
•
Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB.
Refer to Table 2 for configurations.
