Product Description 1.7 System Memory The Desktop Board D845GLVA has two DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features: • 2.5 V (only) 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts • Unbuffered single-sided or double-sided DIMMs • Maximum total system memory: 2 GB; minimum total system memory: 64 MB • DDR266/200 MHz SDRAM DIMMs only • Serial Presence Detect (SPD) CAUTION Do not use ECC DIMMs with this board. Using ECC DIMMs could damage the board.  INTEGRATOR'S NOTES • Registered DIMMs are not supported. • Double-sided x16 DIMMs are not supported. • If a full-length PCI add-in card is installed in PCI bus connector 1 (the PCI bus connector closest to the processor), remove the add-in card before installing or upgrading memory to avoid interference with the memory retention mechanism. • This board has been designed to support DIMMs based on 512 Mbit technology for a maximum onboard capacity of up to 2 GB, but this technology has not been validated (currently validated up to 1.0 GB) on this board. Please refer to the following Intel web sites for the latest lists of tested memory: http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/va/va_mem.htm ✏ NOTE To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance.

1.7 System Memory
The Desktop Board D845GLVA has two DIMM sockets and supports the following memory
features:
2.5 V (only) 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
Unbuffered single-sided or double-sided DIMMs
Maximum total system memory: 2 GB; minimum total system memory: 64 MB
DDR266/200 MHz SDRAM DIMMs only
Serial Presence Detect (SPD)
CAUTION
Do not use ECC DIMMs with this board. Using ECC DIMMs could damage the board.
±
INTEGRATOR’S NOTES
Registered DIMMs are not supported.
Double-sided x16 DIMMs are not supported.
If a full-length PCI add-in card is installed in PCI bus connector 1 (the PCI bus connector
closest to the processor), remove the add-in card before installing or upgrading memory
to avoid interference with the memory retention mechanism.
This board has been designed to support DIMMs based on 512 Mbit technology for a
maximum onboard capacity of up to 2 GB, but this technology has not been validated
(currently validated up to 1.0 GB) on this board. Please refer to the following Intel web
sites for the latest lists of tested memory:
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board should
be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This
allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory
settings for optimum performance.
