System Memory Configuration

Memory Layout

The KP6-LA supports (3) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module) and (4) 72-pin SIMMs (Single In-line Memory Module). The DIMMs can be either EDO (Enhanced Data Out) or SDRAM (Synchronized DRAM). The 72-pin SIMMs must be installed in pairs, and DIMMs may be installed using just one chip.

•We only recommend using SDRAM and not mixing SIMM with DIMM modules.

•Same size and type EDO memory must be installed in pairs so that memory modules are not mixed in each bank.

•DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns) or 120MHz (8ns) bus speed.

•If you use both 50ns and 60ns memory you must configure your BIOS to read 60ns.

•When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the 4 clock variety over the 2 clock.

•Fast Page Mode DRAM (FPM) is not supported by the LX AGPset. Only EDO and SDRAM are supported.

Figure 2 and Table 1 show several possible memory configurations using both SIMM and DIMM.

*Caution: DIMM BANK 2 & SIMM BANK 2 ARE SHARED

This means that if you use SIMM 1&2 you can not use DIMM 1

or if you use DIMM 1 you can not use SIMM 1&2.
