Memory configurations

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2

DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

• 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.

• For dual-channel configuration, the total size of memory module(s) installed

per channel must be the same (DIMM_A1 + DIMM_A2 = DIMM_B1 +

DIMM_B2).

• This model supports up to 4GB memory modules and max. 2GB per

channel. It supports up to one double-sided or two singled-sided DIMMs

per channel.

• When installing four DDR2 DIMM modules, install only single-sided

memory modules.

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility,

it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.

• Support max. 2 DIMM modules when over-clock to DDR2-1066.
• The system may only recognize less than 4GB because the address space is

reserved for other critical functions. This limitation appears on Windows

®

XP

32-bit operation system which does not support Physical Address Extension

(PAE). If you install Windows

®

XP 32-bit operation system, a total memory

of less than 4GB is recommended.
