2.4.1 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 differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:
