1.7.2 Memory Configurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB unbuffered 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 in Table 1.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules
from the same vendor. See Table 2 for qualified DDR DIMMs.
• Due to chipset limitation, DIMM modules with 128 Mb memory
chips or double-sided x16 memory chips are not supported in this
motherboard.
• When you installed four 1 GB DDR memory modules, the system
may detect not more than 3 GB of total system memory because of
address space allocation. This limitation applies only to systms with
Windows ® XP 32-bit operating system since it does not support PAE
(Physical Address Extension) mode.
• If you installed Windows ® XP 32-bit operationg system, we
recommend you to install not more than 3 GB of system memory.
