Overview

The motherboard comes with four 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 to match the break on the socket and ensure correct installation.

The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:

Memory configurations

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR2
533/667 MHz DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from
the same vendor.

Due to chipset resource allocation, system configuration determines
the system memory availability. The system typically shows about
3~4 GB available memory space due to chipset resource allocation
for onboard devices and add-on cards. This will vary for different
add-on cards that the user installs. Some PCI cards need larger
memory space, which will make the total available memory space
below 3 GB.

•

To prevent compatibility issues, do not combine single and
double-sided memory modules on the same motherboard/system.
