ASUS MEW-AML User’s Manual 15
3. HARDWARE SETUP
System Memory
3. H/W SETUP
NOTE: At the time this User’s Manual was written, 256MB DIMMs are only avail-
able as Double-Sided registered memory (128Mbit cells). Using 2x2x2 SDRAM can
greatly improve the onboard graphics’ performance.
3.5.1 General DIMM Notes
• This motherboard operates at 100MHz, therefore PC100-compliant modules must
be used because of the strict timing issues involved under this speed.
• ASUS motherboards support SPD (Serial Presence Detect) DIMMs. This is the
memory of choice for best performance vs. stability.
• SDRAM chips are generally thinner with higher pin density than EDO (Ex-
tended Data Output) chips.
• BIOS shows SDRAM memory on bootup screen.
• Single-sided DIMMs come in 16, 32, 64,128MB; double-sided come in 32, 64,
128, 256MB.
3.5 System Memory (DIMM)
NOTE: No hardware or BIOS setup is required after adding or removing memory.
This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Sockets are
available for 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic Random Ac-
cess Memory (SDRAM).
This chipset does not support ECC. However, ECC memory modules may still be
used, but the ECC function will not be available.
Install memory in any combination as follows:
Location 168-pin DIMM SDRAM Total Memory
DIMM1 Single-Sided/Double-Sided x1
(Rows 0&1)
16, 32, 64, 128MB, or 256MB
DIMM2 Single-Sided/Double-Sided x1
(Rows 2&3)
16, 32, 64, 128MB, or 256MB
Total System Memory (Max 512MB) =
