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:

• Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than

4 GB system memory when you installed two 2 GB DDR2 memory

modules.

• For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory

modules from the same vendor. Visit the ASUS website

(www.asus.com) for the latest Qualified Vendors List.
