2.4 System memory

2.4.1 Overview

The motherboard comes with six fully-buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) sockets to

support 240-pin FB-DIMM modules. An FB-DIMM module has a different pin-

out from DDR2 DIMMs so you cannot install DDR2 DIMMs on an FB-DIMM

socket. Note that an FB-DIMM socket has an Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB)

chip that allows memory-to-CPU connection at gigabit speed.
The figure illustrates the location of the FB-DIMM sockets:

2.4.2 Memory configurations

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB registered ECC

FB-DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

• For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory

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

on the ASUS web site.

• This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of

128 Mb chips or double-rank x16 memory modules.

• If you are installing only one memory module, install into the white

socket labeled DIMM_00. Installing into any other socket will not

work.
