The motherboard has two Double Data Rate (DDR) DIMM sockets that supports
up to 2GB non-ECC PC3200/2700/2100/1600 DDR Synchronous Dynamic
Random Access Memorry (SDRAM) DIMMs. Each DIMM socket/module is two-
sided. DIMMs come in combinations of single or double-sided types ranging
through 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1 GB. The A7N8X-VM motherboard
supports the dual-channel memory architecture when two DIMMs are installed on
the sockets.
