The motherboard comes with four 184-pin Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.

The following ﬁgure illustrates the location of the sockets:

1.7 .2 Mem or y Con fi gu rat io ns

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory conﬁgurations in this section.

•

Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended conﬁgurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the recommended conﬁgurations in Table 1.

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. See Table 2 for qualiﬁed DDR DIMMs.

• Due to chipset limitation, DIMM modules with 128 Mb memory chips or double-sided x16 memory chips are not supported in this motherboard.

• When you installed four 1 GB DDR memory modules, the system may detect not more than 3 GB of total system memory because of address space allocation. This limitation applies only to systms with Windows® XP 32-bit operating system since it does not support PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode.

• If you installed Windows® XP 32-bit operationg system, we recommend you to install not more than 3 GB of system memory.
