The PCI frequency settings are automatically set by the system 
 

1.8. Memory Installation 

 

Note:

 

This motherboard supports up to two double-sided or two 
single-sided DIMMs when the DDR DRAM interface is 
operating at 133 MHz. Installing DDR DIMM modules that 
exceed these specifications requires that the BIOS down-shifts 
the DRAM clocks to 100 MHz through a two-wire interface of 
the system clock generator.

 

 

184-Pin DIMM DDR SDRAM Memory Configuration. 

 

Each 

184-pin

 DIMM bank can install from 64MB up to 1GB of 

PC1600/PC2100/PC2700 compliant 2.5V single or double side 
buffered with or without ECC DDR SDRAM modules.
