1.7.2Memory configurations

You may install 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.

¥Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the recommended configurations on the next page.

¥Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR DIMM pairs for each channel.

¥Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.

¥Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard does not support DIMM

modules with less than or equal to 128 Mb memory chips.
