Hardware Setup Memory The mainboard provides 2/3 slots for 184-pin, 2.5V DDR DIMM modules and supports the memory size up to 2 GB/3GB without ECC. You can install DDR266/ DDR333/DDR400 DDR SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots. To operate properly, at least one DIMM module must be installed. For the updated supporting memory modules, please visit http://www.msi. com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_trp_list.php. For 865PE Neo2-V: DIMM1~3, max. memory 3GB. For 848P Neo-V: DIMM1~2, max. memory 2GB. DIMM1 DIMM2 DIMM3 Introduction to DDR SDRAM DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM, but doubles the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as opposed to 3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, workstations and servers. DDR Population Rules Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports up to a maximum size of 1GB. Users can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet their own needs. For 848PV, it supports only single-channel DDR. For 865PEV, it supports both single-channel & dual-channel DDR. 2-7

Introduction to DDR SDRAM
DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM, but doubles
the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as opposed to 3.3 volts
used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-pin DIMM
modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution
for high performance PC, workstations and servers.
DDR Population Rules
Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports up to a
maximum size of 1GB. Users can install either single- or double-sided modules to
meet their own needs.
For 848PV, it supports only single-channel DDR. For 865PEV, it supports both
