3.5.2 SDR DIMM Support

The three SDR DIMM sockets support 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered Single Data
Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDR SDRAM) of 64MB,
128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB to form a memory size between 64MB to 3GB.
One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM takes up one row on the motherboard.

SDR DIMMs supports non-ECC (used in desktops/laptops) and are available in
unbuffered (typically used in PCs) versions.

Install memory in any combination as follows:
