System Memory
The system board supports two kinds of memory modules:
DIMM and SIMM. DIMM, which sometimes uses SDRAM,
performs better than SIMM, which uses DRAM. When you are
purchasing DIMMs, please specify you want the Intel compatible
type. (There are DIMMs made for other types of computers that
are not compatible.)
Note:
DIM and SIM modules cannot exist on the system board at
the same time. Use either SIMM or DIMM only.
DIMM
The two 168-pin DIMM (Dual
In-line Memory Module) sockets
use x64 EDO, FPM and SDRAM.
The system board can support
8MB to 256MB memory. The
table below summarizes the
DIMM sockets and modules
needed for the corresponding
memory sizes.
