2-3.1 Type

This mainboard supports SDRAM DIMM and EDO DIMM.

2-3.2 Speed

For SDRAM, the memory speed normally marked as: -15, -12, -10, -8, -7.

The meaning is,

-15 = 15ns, and the maximum clock is 66MHz

-12 = 12ns, and the maximum clock is 83MHz

-10 = 10ns, and the maximum clock is 100MHz

-8 = 8ns, and the maximum clock is 125MHz

-7 = 7ns, and the maximum clock is 142MHz

For EDO, the access time can be 50ns, 60ns & 70ns.

2-3.3 Buffered and Non-buffered

Only the non-buffered DIMM can be used in this mainboard. The difference
between buffered and non-buffered DIMM can be identified by the notch
position shown below.
