2.5System memory

2.5.1 Overview

The motherboard comes with two Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. These sockets support up to 2GB system memory using 168-pin unbuffered non-ECC PC133/100 DIMMs.

A DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

2.5.2 Memory configurations

Install DIMMs in any of the following combinations.

DIMM Notes

This motherboard supports Serial Presence Detect (SPD) DIMMs. This is the memory of choice for best performance and stability.

SDRAM chips are generally thinner with higher pin density than EDO (Extended Data Output) chips.

Single-sided DIMMs come in 16/32/64/128/256MB densities; double- sided DIMMs come in 32/64/128/256/512MB densities.
