2-4 Install Memory
This motherboard provides
four
184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM)
sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 256MB to maximum
memory size of 4.0GB DDR SDRAM.

For Dual channel Limited!
1.
Dual channel function only supports when 2 DIMM Modules plug in either both DIMM1 &
DIMM3 or DIMM2 &DIMM4, or four DIMM Modules plug in DIMM1~DIMM4.
2.
DIMM1 & DIMM3, or DIMM2 & DIMM4 must be the same type, same size, same frequency
for dual channel function.
Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer
to figure 2-4 to see what a 184-Pin DDR333/DDR400 DDR SDRAM module looks like.

NOTE!
When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab
should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention
on both sides.
WARNING!
For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 200MHz, use only DDR400-compliant
DDR Modules. When this motherboard operate at 200Mhz, most system will
not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing
issues.
