Overview
The motherboard comes with two 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:

Memory configurations
You may install 512 MB and 1 GB unbuffered, non-ECC DDR2-533/667 DIMMs
into the DIMM sockets.

Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the
same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualified Vendors List on the ASUS web
site.
When installing only one DIMM, install the DIMM prior to DIMM socket
DIMMA1.
