System Memory Configuration
Memory Layout

The board supports (2) PC133/VC133 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module).

The DIMMs is for SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM).

SDRAM may be 83MHz (12ns), 100MHz (10ns), 125MHz (8ns) or

133MHz (7.5ns) bus speed.

If you use both 50ns and 60ns memory you must configure your

BIOS to read 60ns.

When using Synchronous DRAM we recommend using the 4 clock

variety over the 2 clock.

Figure 6 and Table 1 show several possible memory configurations.

* SDRAM supports 32, 64, 128, 256MB, 512MB DIMM modules.

* We recommend to use PC100/VC100 Memory Module for bus speed

100MHz and PC133/VC133 Memory for bus speed over 100MHz.

* Using non-compliant memory with higher bus speed (over clocking) may

severely compromise the integrity of  the system.
