2.6.1Memory 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 DIMM1 and DIMM2.

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

•The total memory detected by the system depends on the onboard VGA shared memory setting.
