2.4.1Overview

The motherboard comes with two 240-pin Double Data Rate (DDR2) and four 184-pin DDR Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.

DDR2 DIMMS are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.

The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets:

To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not use DDR and DDR2

memory simultaneously.

2.4.2Memory Configurations

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR/DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.

•Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.

•Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 4 GB system memory when you installed four 1 GB DDR memory modules.

•This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of

128 Mb chips or double sided x16 memory modules.
