Asus P4PE-X/TE 1.9.1 Memory configurations, DDR DIMM1, DDR DIMM2, DDR DIMM3, Chapter 1: Product introduction

1.9System memory

The motherboard comes with three Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. These sockets support up to 2GB system memory using 184-pin unbuffered non-ECC PC3200*/2700/2100/1600 DDR DIMMs. The following figure illustrates the location of the DDR DIMM sockets. (*Overclocking mode)

If you wish to use a PC3200 (400MHz) DDR module, you need to install a CPU with 800MHz FSB. Without an 800MHz FSB CPU, the DDR module can only run at 333MHz or lower frequency.

1.9.1 Memory configurations

You may install any DDR DIMMs with 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB densities into the DIMM sockets.

1. Use only the following combinations to install DDR DIMMs. Otherwise, the system may not boot up.

2.It is recommended to use the DIMM slots sequentially according to the following: DIMM slot 1->DIMM slot 2 -> DIMM slot 3.

DDR DIMM1	DDR DIMM2	DDR DIMM3
(Rows 0&1)	(Rows 2&3)	(Rows 3&2)
SS/DS	DS	None
SS/DS	SS	SS

*SS - Single-sided DIMM DS - Double-sided DIMM

1.DDR DIMM sockets 2 and 3 share the same rows, so if you install a double-sided DIMM into DIMM2 socket, you must leave DIMM3 socket empty.

2.x16 Double-sided DDR DIMMs (16-bit memory chips) are not supported on this motherboard.

3.You may install single-sided DIMMs into DIMM2 and DIMM3 sockets at the same time but neither one can be x16 DDR module.
