2.2 Installing the Memory Modules

This motherboard accommodates two memory module slots, supporting 184-pin dual channel DDR 266/333/400 SDRAM up to 2GB. You can add 1 or 2 memory modules to the system at your choice. In the case of adding two memory modules, please use two verified memory modules of the same manufacturer and specifications/capacity to increase their compatibility with motherboard. Please note that dual channel function is activated only when two memory modules of the specifications/capacity are present.

CPU FSB (MHz)

Memory Frequency (MHz)

DIMM DDR Code Name

400

266

PC2100

533

266/333

PC2100 / 2700

800

400/320*

PC3200 / 2700

*Sometimes when pairing an 800 MHz FSB CPU with PC2700 DIMM DDR SDRAM, the memory frequency will read 320 MHz instead of 333 MHz due to chipset limitations.
