2-4 To install the system memory
This motherboard provides three 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM)
sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum
memory size of 3.0GB DDR SDRAM.

Generally speaking, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy,
you can refer to figure 2-4 to see what a 184-Pin PC2100/PC2700/PC3200 DDR SDRAM
module looks like.

NOTE!
When you install DIMM modules fully into the DIMM sockets the eject tab
should be locked into the DIMM modules firmly and fit to its indention on
both sides.
WARNING!
For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 166MHz, use only PC2700-
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 PC2100-compliant,
set the DDR SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system stability.
