3.HARDWARE SETUP

3.5System Memory (DDR DIMM)

This motherboard uses only Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Two sockets are available for 2.5Volt (power level) unbuffered/registered Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (DDR SDRAM) of 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 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-ECCmodules (used on desktops/laptops) available in registered (typically used in servers) and unbuffered (typically used in PCs) ver- sions.

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