System Memory Configuration

Memory Layout

The EP-6VBA supports (3) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module). The DIMMs can be either EDO (Enhanced Data Out) or SDRAM (Synchronized DRAM).

•DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns) or 125MHz (8ns) bus speed.

•If you use both 50ns and 60ns memory you must configure your BIOS to read 60ns.

•When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the 4 clock variety over the 2 clock.

Figure 2 and Table 1 show several possible memory configurations using both SIMM and DIMM.
