Chapter 1: Product introduction
• When using only one memory module, start installing the DDR2 DIMM from
slot DIMM_A1 or DIMM_B1 for better overclocking capability.
• For dual�channel configuration (2), you may:
- install identical DIMMs in all four sockets OR
- install identical DIMM pair in DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1 (yellow sockets)
and another identical DIMM pair in DIMM_A2 and DIMM_B2 (black
sockets)
• Always use identical DDR2 DIMM pairs for dual channel mode. For
optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules
from the same vendor.
Important notice on installing Windows
®
Vista / XP 32-bit version
• If you are using a Windows 32-bit version operating system (e.g. 32-bit
Windows XP, 32-bit Vista) without the Physical Address Extension (PAE)
support, the system will allocate a certain amount of memory space for
system devices.
• We recommend that you install only a maximum of 3GB system memory
when using a Windows 32-bit version operating system without the PAE.
The excess over 3GB of installed memory will not cause any problem;
however, the system can not use this excess memory space and the
system will display less than the total size of physical memory installed
64-bit
