Qualified Vendors Lists (QVL)
DDR2 1066 MHz capability (for AM2+ platform only)
• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The
system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel
configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then
mapped for single-channel operation.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility,
it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
• If you are using a Windows 32-bit version operating system (e.g. 32-bit
Windows, 32-bit Vista) without the Physical Address Extension (PAE)
support, the system will allocate a certain amount of memory space for
system devices.
• We recommend that you install only a maximum of 3GB system memory
when using a Windows 32-bit version operating system without the PAE.
The excess over 3GB of installed memory will not cause any problem;
however, the system can not use this excess memory space and the
system will display less than the total size of physical memory installed.
Notes on memory limitations
• Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to
4 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a maximum
of 2 GB DIMMs on each slot.
