Chapter 1: Product introduction

This motherboard supports different memory frequencies depending on the CPU
FSB (Front Side Bus) and the type of DDR DIMM.

CPU FSB

DDR DIMM Type

Memory Frequency

800 MHz

PC3200/PC2700*/PC2100

400/333*/266 MHz

533 MHz

PC2700/PC2100

*When using 800MHz CPU FSB, PC2700 DDR DIMMs may run only at
320MHz (not 333MHz) due to chipset limitation.

*

For dual-channel configuration (3), you may:

• install identical DIMMs in all four sockets, or

• install identical DIMMs in DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1 (blue sockets)
and identical DIMMs in DIMM_A2 and DIMM_B2 (black sockets)
