Asus P5LP-LE manual System memory, Memory configurations

3.System memory

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets.

A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.

The following figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets.

3.1 Memory configurations

You can install 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.

•Installing DDR2 DIMMs other than the recommended configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the recommended configurations on the next page.

•Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR2 DIMM pairs using the recommended configurations.

•Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB (Front Side Bus). Refer to the Memory frequency/CPU FSB synchronization table on the next page.

•This motherboard does not support double-sided 16-bit DDR DIMMs.

•Do not create a three-DIMM configuration in dual-channel mode. The third DIMM is ignored in the dual-channel operation.
