2.7Installing system memory

The motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. These sockets support up to 2 GB system memory using unbuffered ECC or non-ECC PC2700/PC2100/PC1600 DIMMs.

• When using 100 MHz CPU FSB, any DDR DIMM you installed may run only at a maximum of 266 MHz due to chipset limitation.

If you are using CPU FSB other than 100 MHz and installed 400 MHz DDR DIMMs, the memory frequency downgrades to 333 MHz.
