Step 2. Configure Memory

Your board comes with three DIMM sockets, providing support for up to 3GB of main memory using unbuffered and non-ECC DIMM modules from 128MB to 1GB. On this motherboard, DRAM speed can be set independent from the CPU front side bus speed. Depending on the DRAM clock speed setting in the BIOS setup, appropriate memory modules must be used. For 133MHz DRAM speed, use PC2100 memory; for 166MHz DRAM speed, use PC2700 memory.
