Installing Memory
Take great care when handling and
implementing the memory, because it
is not cheap anymore. Memory
DIMMs will only go in one way, so
don't try and force it. Line up the
DIMM and push down gently. Then,
when it's in place, lock it in with
white connectors, as shown on the right image.
Warning
This mainboard contains 4 memory slots which use 184-pin DDR
SDRAM with a total memory capacity of up to 4 GB. You must install
unbuffered/non-ECC DDR-SDRAM DIMMs with either 256 MB, 512
MB, or 1 GB of memory. These modules must be either DDR400
(PC3200) or DDR333 (PC2700) SDRAM.
Tips
This mainboard provides Dual-Channel functionality for its DIMM slots.
Enabling Dual-Channel can significantly increase your data access rates.
DIMM1 and DIMM2 share one channel, while DIMM3 and DIMM4
share the second channel. Enabling Dual-Channel simply means to make
sure that the total memory for the two channels is balanced. For example:
If you install one 256 MB module in DIMM1 and one in DIMM2
(256MB x 2 = 512MB), you must install a total of 512 MB between
DIMM3 and DIMM4. In balancing the memory on the two channels, you
have, in effect, enabled Dual-Channel.
