System Board            22

 

2-5 Memory 

 
 
This motherboard supports only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Two 
sockets are available for 3.3Volt unbuffered SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic 
Random Access Memory). The sizes that are supported are: 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 
or 512MB, memory sizes between 8MB to 1GB can be formed this way. This 
motherboard also supports NEC s Virtual Channel (VC) SDRAMs. Refer to the 
picture below for the position of the DIMM slots: 

 

Memory speed is controlled through the BIOS, on the Advanced Chipset Features 
Setup page you will find several items related to SDRAM speed. Refer to the 
BIOS section for more details. 

 

STOP

WARNING:

   

 

DIMM modules that have more than 18 chips are not supported on this 
motherboard. (Due to signal integrity) 

 

If the system CPU bus operates at 100MHz/133MHz, use only 
PC100-/PC133-compliant DIMMs. (System won’t boot otherwise) 

 

DO NOT attempt to mix PC133 SDRAMs with VCM SDRAMs.
