3.3.2 System Memory

The system memory consists of DDR memory on 64-bit bus and the module size options are 128/256/512MB upward. The BIOS will automatically detect the amount of memory in the system and configure CMOS accordingly during the POST (Power-On Self Test) process. This must be done in a way that requires no user interaction.
