2.4.1Overview

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.

A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.

The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:

2.4.2Memory configurations

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB non-ECC unbuffered DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

¥Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualified Vendors List on the next page for details.

¥This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 2048 Mb chips or double sided x16 memory modules.
