This motherboard uses Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM). Four 4-DIMM socket memory
banks are available, one memory bank for each CPU socket. The DIMM sockets accommodate
DDR266/DDR333/DDR400, Double Data Rate (DDR) memory modules in 128 MB, 256 MB,
512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB size combinations. Total installed memory size is between a
minimum of 128 MB to a maximum of 64 GB.
The design of the processor is such that the Memory Controller is built-in to the processor.
Therefore, if there is no processor present, the respective DIMM bank is NOT recognized.
This is important to note when not all processors are present.
IMPORTANT
*
The motherboard has strict memory and timing requirements. Before buying DDR
(Double Data Rate) DIMMs for use with the motherboard, it is recommended that
you consult your local reseller for the best and most compatible memory to use.
*
The memory controller is built-in to the processor. If NO processor is present, the
respective DIMM bank is NOT recognized.
