DIMM1 DIMM2 DIMM3 Hardware Setup Memory The mainboard provides 3 slots for 184-pin, 2.5V DDR DIMM and supports up to 3GB memory size. You can install DDR266 / DDR333 / DDR400 / DDR433 / DDR466 SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DIMM 1~3). To operate properly, at least one DIMM module must be installed. Please note that DDR433/DDR466 are overclocking specs. DDR DIMM Slots (DIMM 1~3, from left to right) Channel A: DIMM1 & DIMM2 (green) Channel B: DIMM3 (purple) Memory Population Rules Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports up to a maximum size of 1GB. You can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet your own needs. The mainboard supports both dual-channel & single-channel modes. Users may install memory modules of different types and density under single-channel mode. Under dual-channel mode, however, please make sure that you install memory modules of the same type and density on DDR DIMMs "in pairs" -- {DIMM1 & DIMM3} or {DIMM2 & DIMM3} to ensure system stability. 2-7

The mainboard supports both dual-channel & single-channel modes. Users
may install memory modules of different types and density under single-channel
mode.
Under dual-channel mode, however, please make sure that you install memory
modules of
the same type and density
on DDR DIMMs “in pairs” -- {DIMM1 &
DIMM3} or {DIMM2 & DIMM3} to ensure system stability.
The mainboard provides 3 slots for 184-pin, 2.5V DDR DIMM and supports up to

You can install DDR266 / DDR333 / DDR400 / DDR433 / DDR466
SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DIMM 1~3).
To operate properly, at least one DIMM module must be installed.
