System Memory

The pITX-SP uses only 200 pin Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SODIMMs). One socket is avail-
able for +1.8V unbuffered DDR2-400 / DDR2-533 SDRAM of up to 2 GB.
To reduce the design complexity and minimize power the chipset maintains a fixed relationship to the FSB
(Front Side Bus) clock frequency. The relation is described in the following table:

Differing from this overview also DDR2-667 RAM modules can be used with all article numbers. RAM modu-
les above DDR2-667 however shouldn't be used.
The total amount of memory available on the SDRAM module is used for main memory and graphic memory
on the pITX-SP. Shared Memory Architecture (SMA) manages the sharing of the system memory between
graphic controller and processor. Therefore the full memory size is not available for software applications.

When RAM modules with 16 chips are used special Bios settings might be required (example: SAMSUNG
M47OT2953EZ3-CE6). For additional information and support contacts see chapter

Attention:

KONTRON Technology A/S can't guarantee the correct functionality of the pITX-SP when a DDR2-667 or a DDR2-533 (for

article number 03001-0000-11-1/2) RAM module is used.
