Overview
The motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory
Modules (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a
240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched
differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility,
it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
• If you install two 2GB memory modules, the system may only
recognize less than 3GB because the address space is reserved for
other critical functions. This limitation appears on Windows
®
XP 32-bit
operation system which does not support Physical Address Extension (PAE).
• If you install Windows
®
XP 32-bit operation system, a total memory of less
than 3GB is recommended.
