1.6 System Memory
The Desktop Board D848PMB has two DIMM sockets and supports the following memory
features:
2.6 V (only) 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:
Double-sided DIMMS with x16 organization are not supported.
2 GB maximum total system memory.
Minimum total system memory:
64 MB
Non-ECC DIMMs
Serial Presence Detect
DDR400, DDR333, and DDR266 SDRAM DIMMs
Table 4 lists the supported system bus frequency and memory speed combinations.
Table 4.
Supported System Bus Frequency and Memory Speed Combinations
To use this type of DIMM
The processor's system bus frequency must be
DDR400
800 MHz
DDR333
(Note)
800 or 533 MHz
DDR266
800, 533, or 400 MHz
Note:
When using an 800 MHz system bus frequency processor, DDR333 memory is clocked at 320 MHz.
This
minimizes system latencies to optimize system throughput.
NOTES
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.
If non-SPD memory is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly
configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs
may not function under the determined frequency.
