Upgrade the Processor
See the documentation that came with the boxed Intel Pentium II processor.
How to Install Memory
You can install from 16 MB to 384 MB of memory in the motherboard DIMM sockets.
The board
has DIMM sockets arranged as banks 0, 1, and 2.
The motherboard supports the following
memory features:
168-pin DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
66 or 100 MHz SDRAM
Non-ECC (64-bit) and ECC (72-bit) memory
3.3 V memory only
Single- or double-sided DIMMs in the following sizes:

* ECC DIMM organization will be X 72 and one additional component will be used on each side of DIMM.
** If number of SDRAMs is greater than nine, the DIMM will be double sided.
When adding memory, follow these guidelines:
You can install DIMMs in any of the three banks.
You can use different sizes of DIMMs in different banks.
The BIOS detects the size and type of installed memory.
For ECC operation to be available, all installed memory must be ECC and you must enable the
ECC Configuration feature in the Setup program (see Chapter 3).
