3.5 System Memory (DIMM)
NOTE: No hardware or BIOS setup is required after adding or removing memory.
This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Sockets are
available for 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic Random Ac-
cess Memory (SDRAM) of 16, 32, 64, 128MB, or 256MB (512MB maximum sys-
tem memory using 128Mb technology).
This chipset does not support ECC. However, ECC memory modules may still be
used, but the ECC function will not be available.
Memory speed setup is recommended through SDRAM Configuration in 4.4.1
Chip Configuration.
NOTE: Using 2x2x2 SDRAM can greatly improve the onboard graphics’ perfor-
mance.
3.5.1 General DIMM Notes
•
ASUS motherboards support SPD (Serial Presence Detect) DIMMs. This is the
memory of choice for best performance vs. stability.
•
SDRAM chips are generally thinner with higher pin density than EDO (Ex-
tended Data Output) chips.
•
BIOS shows SDRAM memory on bootup screen.
•
Single-sided DIMMs come in 16, 32, 64,128MB; double-sided come in 32, 64,
128, 256MB.
