Overview

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

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

has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched

differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.

The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:
