3. HARDWARE SETUP
3.5 System Memory
This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Two DIMM
sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic
Random Access Memory (SDRAM) of 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512MB to form a
memory size between 16MB to 1GB. One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM
takes up one row on the motherboard. This motherboard also supports NEC’s Virtual
Channel (VC) SDRAMs and Enhanced Memory System’s High-speed DRAMs
(HSDRAMs).
Memory speed setup is recommended through SDRAM Configuration under “Chipset
Features Setup”.
IMPORTANT (see General DIMM Notes below for more)
•
SDRAMs used must be compatible with the current Intel PC133 SDRAM
specification.
•
DO NOT attempt to mix registered SDRAMs with VCM SDRAMs.
•
When using all the four DIMM sockets, the Suspend-to-RAM (STR) feature
is not available.

3.5.1 General DIMM Notes
•
DIMMs that have more than 18 chips are not supported on this motherboard.
•
For the system CPU bus to operate
100
MHz/133MHz, use only PC100-/PC133-
compliant DIMMs.
•
ASUS motherboards support Serial Presence Detect (SPD) DIMMs. This is the
memory of choice for best performance vs. stability.
•
SDRAM chips are generally thinner with higher pin density than EDO (Extended
Data Output) chips.
•
BIOS shows SDRAM memory on bootup screen.
•
Single-sided DIMMs come in 16, 32, 64,128, 256MB; double-sided come in 32, 64,
128, 256, 512MB.
