1.9 System memory
The motherboard has three Double Data Rate (DDR) DIMM sockets that supports
up to 3GB unbuffered non-ECC PC3200/2700/2100/1600 DDR DIMMs.
A DDR DIMM has the same physical dimensions as an SDR DIMM, but it has a
184-pin footprint compared to the 168-pin of the SDR DIMM. Also, a DDR DIMM is
single notched while an SDR DIMM is double notched.
