2-4 Install Memory
This motherboard provides two 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM)
sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum
memory size of 2.0GB DDR SDRAM. For Support 128-bit data transfer function
(Dual Channel) must plug both DDR1 and DDR2, other combination only support 64-
bit data transfer.

NOTE! Make sure the total installed memory does not exceeds 2.0GB, otherwise the
system may hang during startup.
Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can
refer to figure 2-4 to see what a 184-Pin DDR 266/333 DDR SDRAM module looks like.
DDR1 (BANK0+BANK1)
DDR2 (BANK2+BANK3)
NOTE!
When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab
should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its
indention on both sides.
WARNING! For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 166MHz, use only DDR333 compliant
DDR Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most system will not
even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if
your DDR Modules are not DDR266-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to
100MHz to ensure system stability.
