2-3. Install System Memory

This motherboard provides two 232-pin 32-bit RIMM (Rambus Inline Memory Modules) slots for PC1200/PC1066/PC800 Direct RDRAM.

ATTENTION: The PC1066 RIMM modules require CPU of 533MHz FSB only. Do not use PC1066 modules with CPU of 400MHz FSB.

NOTE: RIMM modules are limited to a total combination of 24 chip devices only.

The RIMM slots must be fully installed with RIMM modules to avoid breaking the signal lines. To assure the electrical integrity of the Rambus interface when installing only one RIMM module, a C-RIMM is therefore necessary to complete the signal lines.
