1.7.2 Memory configurations

You may install 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB unbuffered

ECC/non-ECC DDR DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory

configurations in this section.

• Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations

may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of

the recommended configurations on the next page.

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

compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules

from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR400 Qualified Vendors List

on the next page for details.

• Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard does not support DIMM

modules with less than or equal to 128 Mb memory chips.
