3.5System Memory

This motherboard features two Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Module sockets and three Single Data Rate (SDR) Dual Inline Memory Module sockets.

3.5.1 DDR DIMM Support

The two DDR DIMM sockets support 2.5Volt (power level) unbuffered/registered Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (DDR SDRAM) of 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB to form a memory size between 64MB to 2GB. One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM takes up one row on the motherboard.

DDR DIMMs support non-ECC modules that are available in both registered (typically used in servers) and unbuffered (typically used in PCs) versions.

NOTE: The DDR memory bus runs at the same frequency as the CPU front side bus.
