2.7Installing a DIMM
The system motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets.
The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets:

2.7.1Memory configurations
You may install up to 2 GB system memory using 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DDR DIMMs.
¥ Installing DDR DIMMS other than the recommended configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the recommended configurations in the table on the next page.
¥Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR DIMM in DIMM_A and DIMM_B.
¥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 2 GB system memory when you installed two 1 GB DDR memory.
¥If you installed two 400 MHz DDR memory modules, the memory frequency downgrades to 333 MHz.
