• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the highersized 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. • If you install four 1 GB memory modules, the system may only recognize less than 3GB because the address space is reserved for other critical functions. This limitation appears on Windows® XP/Vista 32-bit operation system which does not support Physical Address Extension (PAE). • If you install Windows® XP/Vista 32-bit operation system, a total memory of less than 3GB is recommended. • This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb chips. Notes on memory limitations • Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to 8 GB on the operating systems listed below.

ASUS V-Series P5G33
You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B.
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.
If you install four 1 GB memory modules, the system may only
recognize less than 3GB because the address space is reserved for
other critical functions. This limitation appears on Windows
®
XP/Vista
32-bit operation system which does not support Physical Address
Extension (PAE).
If you install Windows
®
XP/Vista 32-bit operation system, a total
memory of less than 3GB is recommended.
This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of
128 Mb chips.

Notes on memory limitations
Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to
8 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a
maximum of 2 GB DIMMs on each slot.
Some old-version DDR2-800/667 DIMMs may not match Intel
®
’s
On-Die-Termination (ODT) requirement and will automatically
downgrade to run at DDR2-533. If this happens, contact your
memory vendor to check the ODT value.
Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-800 with CL=4 will be downgraded
to run at DDR2-667 by default setting. If you want to operate with
lower latency, adjust the memory timing manually.
Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-667 with CL=3 will be downgraded
to run at DDR2-533 by default setting. If you want to operate with
lower latency, adjust the memory timing manually.
