Overview

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory

Modules (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but is notched

differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket. DDR2 modules are

developed for better performance with less power consumption.
The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:
