2.2.3 Installing System Memory
The maximum system memory supported
by the P5F97/P5F103 is 768MB. If more
than 768MB memory are populated on
the mainboard, the portion of the memory
which exceed the 768MB boundary will
be invalidated.
The P5F97/P5F103 Mainboard has three
DIMM Sockets to support up to 768MB of
system memory. Each DIMM below to
each BANK. Memory can be installed by
using 3.3V168-pin EDO/SDRAM DIMM
memory modules.
There are no jumper settings required for the memory size or type,
which is automatically detected by the BIOS. Due to the P5F97/P5F103
Mainboard high speed design, the memory modules must meet all of the
following requirement:
DRAM TYPE
EDO (Extended Data Output)
SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM)
Module Size
Single-sided
Asymmetric: 1Mx64, 2Mx64,
4Mx64, 8Mx64,
16Mx64
Double-Sided
Asymmetric: 2Mx64, 4Mx64,
8Mx64, 16Mx64,
32Mx64
Single-sided
Asymmetric: 1Mx64, 2Mx64,
4Mx64, 8Mx64,
16Mx64
Double-Sided
Asymmetric: 2Mx64, 4Mx64,
8Mx64, 16Mx64,
32Mx64
Requirements
3.3V unbuffered DIMM module
DRAM Speed: 60ns or 70ns
RAS Access Time : 60ns ~70ns
CAS Access Time: 10ns ~20ns
3.3V unbuffered DIMM module
Speed grade: Faster than the CPU
Bus clock
CAS latency Time(CL)=3 or 2
