Installing Memory and HardwareThe E-3200 system board supports:

•3.3-V, 168-pin unbuffered, Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) Dual In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs).

•16 MB and 32MB (16 bit technology)•64MB and 128 MB (64 bit technology)•Non-ECC (64 bit) and ECC (72 bit) memory•Single- or double-sided configurations•384MB maximum system memory

You can use 16-MB, 32-MB, 64-MB, and 128-MB DIMMs in any combination, bank, or order to expand the SDRAM up to 384 MB.

ECC Memory

With error checking and correcting (ECC) memory, multiple bit errors and single bit errors can be detected and corrected. The BIOS automatically detects if ECC memory is installed and provides a Setup utility option to enable error checking. Non-ECC memory does not provide error checking capability.

Important!

66 MHz FSB processors can be paired with 66 or 100 MHz SDRAM, but 100 MHz FSB processors should be paired only with 100 MHz SDRAM.
