Section 3-3

System Memory Configuration
Memory Layout

The EP-8KTA supports (3) PC133 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory
Module). The DIMMs is for SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) only.

•

DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns) or
125MHz (8ns) bus speed.

•

If you use both 50ns and 60ns memory you must configure
your BIOS to read 60ns.

•

When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the
4 clock variety over the 2 clock.

Figure 2 and Table 1 show several possible memory configurations.

* SDRAM only supports 32, 64, 128, 256MB DIMM modules.
* We recommend to use PC100 Memory Module for bus speed 100MHz and

PC133 Memory for bus speed over 100MHz.

* Using non-compliant memory with higher bus speed (over clocking) may

severely compromise the integrity of the system.
