Asus Terminator K7 - Manual (Page 45)

ASUS Terminator K7 Barebone System 45
This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs).
Two DIMM sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) of 16, 32,
64, 128, 256, or 512MB densities for a system memory configuration
of 32MB up to 1GB. One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM takes
up one row on the motherboard. This motherboard also supports NEC’s
Virtual Channel SDRAMs and Enhanced Memory System’s High-
speed DRAMs.
IMPORTANT
•
Make sure to use SDRAMs that are compatible with the
current Intel PC133 SDRAM specifications.
• DO NOT attempt to mix registered SDRAMs with VCM
SDRAMs.
Install memory in any combination as follows:
DIMM Location 168-pin DIMM Total Memory
Socket 1 (Rows 0&1) SDRAM 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB x1
Socket 2 (Rows 2&3) SDRAM 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB x1
Total System Memory (Max. 1GB) =
3.6.1 General DIMM Notes
• DIMMs that have more than 18 chips are not supported on this
motherboard.
• For the system CPU bus to operate
100
MHz/133MHz, use only
PC100-/PC133-compliant DIMMs.
• ASUS motherboards support Serial Presence Detect (SPD) DIMMs.
This is the memory of choice for best performance vs. stability.
• SDRAM chips are generally thinner with higher pin density than
EDO (Extended Data Output) chips.
• BIOS shows SDRAM memory on bootup screen.
• Single-sided DIMMs come in 16, 32, 64,128, 256MB; double-sided
come in 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB.
