System memory
The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory
Module (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR2 module 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 following figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets.

Memory configurations
You can install 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs into the DIMM
sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
• Installing DDR2 DIMMs other than the recommended configurations
may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the
recommended configurations on the next page.
• Install only
identical
(the same type and size) DDR2 DIMM pairs using the
recommended configurations.
• Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB (Front Side
Bus). Refer to the Memory frequency/CPU FSB synchronization table on
the next page.
• This motherboard does not support double-sided 16-bit DDR DIMMs.
• Do not create a three-DIMM configuration in dual-channel mode. The third
DIMM is ignored in the dual-channel operation.
