SY-P4RS350 / P4RC350 Quick Start Guide 

Step 2. 

Configure Memory 

SY-P4RS350

 supports two Dual Channels to your memory. Note that you can use 

(non-ECC) DDR memory for Dual Channel to work. Also note that for Dual channel to 
work 2 or 4 modules of equal size and specifications have to be installed. ECC and 
registered memory are not supported.

  

The largest memory capacity possible is 4GB. On this motherboard, DRAM speed 
can be set independent from the CPU front side bus speed. Note that when installing 
4GB of memory, your total memory will be less than 4GB. The reason for this is that the 
BIOS, PCI and AGP cards claim part for your CPUs address space.

system to work. The Dual Channel feature will not work then however.  
 

SY-P4RC350

 comes with two DIMM sockets, providing support for up to 2GB of main 

memory using unbuffered and non-ECC DIMM modules.
