2-5 Main Memory Configuration
The DRAM memory system consists two banks and the memory size ranges from
16~256 MBytes. If you only use one bank it does not matter which one you use and
if you use two or more banks, it does not matter which bank you install first.
DRAM Specifications
DIMM type: 3.3V, 64/72-bit Synchronous DRAM
Module size: Single/double-sided 16/32/64/128256 MBytes
DRAM speed: 10/12ns for Synchronous DRAM
Parity: Either parity or non-parity
The compatibility of 512MB DIMM is still under testing and cannot be
guaranteed.
This mainboard supports 3.3v, unbuffered, 4-clock, SDRAM DIMM only.
Buffered, 5V, or 2-clock SDRAM DIMMs should not be used.
Due to loading anomalies, using DIMM with an 'n x 4' DRAM base on this
mainboard is not recommended. For example, a DIMM that uses sixteen
16Mb x 4 devices should not be used.
