2.5System memory

2.5.1 Overview

This motherboard uses only Double Data Rate (DDR) Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). These sockets support up to 1GB system memory using non-ECC PC200/ 266 DIMMs.

Each DIMM socket/module is two-sided: each side defines one “row” of memory. DIMMs come in combinations of single or double-sided types ranging through 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB

to form a total memory size of 64MB to 1GB.

~Two (2) sockets are available for both 266MHz-PC2100 or 200MHz-PC1600 DDR DIMMs to form a memory size of 64MB to 1GB.

DIMM Sockets

CAUTION! DIMMs are keyed to fit into notches with only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

DIMMs with more than 18 chips are not supported.

• ASUS motherboards support SPD (Serial Presence Detect)DIMMs. This is the memory of choice for best performance vs. stability

BIOS shows DDR SDRAM memory on bootup screen.
