2.5 System memory 2.5.1 Overview The motherboard comes with six Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. These sockets support up to 12GB system memory using 184-pin registered PC2100/1600 DIMMs with Serial Presence Detect (SPD) and Error Check and Correction (ECC). ® PU-DLS PU-DLS 184-Pin DDR DIMM Sockets 104 Pins 80 Pins DDR6 DDR5 DDR4 DDR3 DDR2 DDR1 A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM. The DDR SDRAM technology evolved from the mainstream PC66, PC100, PC133 memory known as Single Data Rate (SDR) SDRAM. DDR memory however, has the ability to perform two data operations in one clock cycle, thus providing twice the throughput of SDR memory. For example, a 200MHz DDR DIMM will support a 100MHz memory bus, and a 266MHz DDR DIMM will support a 133MHz memory bus. DDR Data Transfer Rate 266MHz 200MHz DDR Base Frequency 133MHz 100MHz A DDR DIMM has the same physical dimensions as an SDR DIMM, but it has a 184-pin footprint compared to the 168-pin of the SDR DIMM. Also, a DDR DIMM is single notched while an SDR DIMM is double notched. Therefore, a DDR DIMM is not backward compatible with SDR, and should be installed only in a socket specially designed for DDR DIMMs. 2-8 Chapter 2: Hardware information
