2.6 Installing a DIMM

The motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. These sockets support up to 2GB system memory using unbuffered non-ECC PC3200/2700/2100 DIMMs.

• This motherboard supports one single-sided PC3200 (DDR400) DIMM per channel only.

•This motherboard may only detect PC2700 (DDR333) system memory when you install double-sided PC3200 (DDR400) DIMMs.

2.6.1Memory configurations

You can install 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB DDR DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

Obtain DDR DIMMs only from ASUS qualified vendors. Refer to the table below. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) for the latest Qualified Vendors List.
