(Note 1) Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage and therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount.

For example, 4 GB of memory size will instead be shown as 3.xxGB memory during system startup. (Note 2) To use a DDRII 600 memory module on the motherboard, you must install an 800MHz FSB

processor and overclock in BIOS.
