This motherboard supports four 72-pin SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) of
4MB, 8MB, 16MB, or 32MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 128MB. The
DRAM can be either 60ns or 70ns Fast Page Mode (FPM) (Asymmetric or Symmet-
ric) or Enhanced Data Output (EDO). SIMMs must be installed in pairs so that each
bank contains two of the same size memory modules. Maximum memory size of
SIMM’s must be 128MB or less.
IMPORTANT: Memory speed setup is required in BIOS Chipset Setup "Auto
Configuration."
Install memory in any or all of the banks in any combination as follows:

IMPORTANT: Do not use memory modules with more than 24 chips per mod-
ule. Modules with more than 24 chips exceed the design specifications of the
memory subsystem and will be unstable.
