DDR

1.The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction.

2.Insert the DIMM memory module verticallyinto the DIMM slot. Then push it down.

3.Close the plastic clip at both edges of theDIMM slots to lock the DIMM module.

Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.

DDR Introduction

Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a high performance and cost-effectiv e solution that allows easy adoption for memory v endors, OEMs and system integrators.

DDR memory is a sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, yet makes awesome advances in solving the system performance bottle- neck by doubling the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRA M will offer a superior solution and migration path from existing SDRAM designs due to its availability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100 DDR memory (DDR266) doubles the data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and falling edge of the clock, achiev ing data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running with the same DRAM clock frequency . With peak bandwidth of 2.1GB per second, DDR memory enables system OEM s to build high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for servers, w orkstations, high-end PC's and value desktop SMA systems . With a core voltage of only

2.5Volts compared to conventional SDRAM's 3.3 volts, DDR memory is a compelling solution for small form factor desktops and notebook applications.

MWhen RAM_LED is ON, do not install/remove DDR from socket.

MPlease note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the two notches. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

GA-7vkml specifications

The Gigabyte GA-7VKML is a reliable and versatile motherboard that was designed to accommodate AMD-based systems during the early 2000s. This motherboard stands out for its compatibility with the Socket A (Socket 462) architecture, which was prevalent for AMD’s Athlon and Duron processors. The GA-7VKML is particularly notable for its Micro ATX form factor, offering a compact solution for users aiming to build a space-efficient yet powerful computer.

One of the main features of the GA-7VKML is its support for a front-side bus (FSB) speed of up to 266 MHz, which enables better performance and faster data exchanges between the CPU and the system memory. The motherboard supports DDR SDRAM with a maximum capacity of 2 GB across its two DIMM slots, allowing users to choose between performance and cost when selecting their memory modules.

Integrated graphics is another highlight of the GA-7VKML. With the VIA KM266 chipset, it offers built-in graphics capabilities that eliminate the need for a separate graphics card for basic tasks, making it an excellent option for users on a budget or those looking to build a home or office PC. For users interested in add-in graphics cards, the motherboard features a standard AGP slot for enhanced graphic performance.

Moreover, the GA-7VKML facilitates high-speed connectivity options with its IDE controllers that support up to four IDE devices. It also features onboard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, providing reliable networking capabilities ideal for both home and small office environments.

In terms of storage options, the motherboard includes RAID support, allowing users to set up RAID 0 or RAID 1 configurations for improved performance or data redundancy. This feature is particularly beneficial for users who prioritize data security or require faster access speeds.

The GA-7VKML also accommodates various connectivity options, including USB 2.0 ports, allowing for faster data transfer rates with compatible devices.

In conclusion, the Gigabyte GA-7VKML is characterized by its solid build quality, essential features for everyday computing needs, and its capability to handle AMD processors efficiently. Its combination of integrated graphics, expandability via AGP and IDE ports, and onboard Ethernet make it a practical choice for those seeking a dependable motherboard for basic to moderately demanding applications. While it may not compete with the latest technology, it holds historical significance as a robust solution for its time.
