Memory Layout
The EP-8KTA supports (3) PC133 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory
Module). The DIMMs is for SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) only.
 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.
* SDRAM only supports 32, 64, 128, 256MB DIMM modules.
* We recommend to use PC100 Memory Module for bus speed 100MHz and
PC133 Memory for bus speed over 100MHz.
* Using non-compliant memory with higher bus speed (over clocking) may
severely compromise the integrity of the system.
