Two sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) Unbuffered Synchronous DRAMs
(SDRAM) or EDO DRAM of either 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128MB to form a memory size
between 8MB to 256MB. One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM module
takes up one Row on the motherboard.

IMPORTANT: Memory speed setup is required through "Auto Configura-
