Installing Memory Modules 

This mainboard accommodates 168-pin 3.3V/184-pin 2.5V 
unbuffered SDRAM memory modules. The memory chips must be 
standard or registered SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random 
Access Memory).  
The CPU supports 100/133MHz system bus. The SDRAM DIMMs  
and DDRs can synchronously work with 100 MHz or operates over 
a 133 MHz system bus. 

You must install at least one memory module in order to use 
the mainboard, 

either SDRAM or DDR SDRAM, but you 

cannot use them simultaneously

.  

DDR SDRAM provides 800 MB/s or 1 GB/s data transfer 
corresponding with the bus 100 MHz or 133 MHz. It doubles the 
rate to 1.6 GB/s and 2.1 GB/s by transferring data on both the 
rising and falling edges of the clock. DDR SDRAM uses additional 
power and ground lines and requires 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered 
DIMM module rather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMMs 
used by SDRAM.
