The motherboard has three Double Data Rate (DDR) DIMM sockets that supports
up to 3GB non-ECC PC2700/2100/1600 DDR.
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.
Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or
other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to
the motherboard and other system components.
