TIP:
Use metal studs if possible, as they hold the motherboard into place more securely than
plastic standoffs.
2.16 – Installing the Memory
Before attempting to install any memory, make sure that the memory you have is compatible with
the motherboard as well as the processor. For example, while PC1600 DDR modules are
compatible with all DDR based motherboards, they
will not
work if you are required to run the
motherboard and processor buses at 133MHz. For this, PC2100 DDR modules are required.
Critically important is whether you’re using the recommended memory for the current board you
have. For this information, please check Tyan’s web site at:
