1.3Central Processing Unit (CPU)

This motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the Intel® Core™ 2 Quad / Core™2 Exreme / Core™2 Duo / Pentium® dual-core / Celeron® dual-core / Celeron® processors.

Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.

• Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.

Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return Merchandise

Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the

LGA775 socket.

The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

This motherboard supports Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology (EIST).

1.4System memory

1.4.1Overview

This motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. A DDR2 DIMM has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket. The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:

Chapter 1: Product introduction

1.4.2Memory configurations

You may install a 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2 DIMM into the DIMM socket.

• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation.

For dual-channel configuration, you can:

-install two identical DIMMs in DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1; or

-install four identical DIMMs in all four slots; or

-install one identical DIMM pair in DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1 (yellow slots) and another identical DIMM pair in DIMM_A2 and DIMM_B2 (black slots).

Due to the memory address limitation on the 32-bit Windows® OS, when you install 4GB or more memory on the motherboard, the actual usable memory for the OS can be about 3GB or less. For effective use of memory, we recommend that you do either of the following:

-Install a maximum of 3GB system memory if you are using a 32-bit Windows® OS.

-Use a 64-bit Windows® OS if you want to install 4GB or more memory on the motherboard.

This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 256 megabits (Mb) chips or less.

• This motherboard supports up to 8GB on Windows® XP Professional x64 and Windows® Vista x64 editions. You may install a maximum of 2GB DIMMs on each slot.

The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect (SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module. Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a lower frequency than the vendor-marked value.

For system stability, use a more efficient cooling system to support a full memory load (4

DIMMs) or overclocking conditions.
