2-4 Install Memory
This motherboard provides
four
184-pin DDR DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES
(DIMM) sites for DDR memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 128MB
to maximum memory size of 4.0GB DDR SDRAM.

Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer
to figure 2-4 to see what a 184-Pin DDR266/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, if your DDR Modules are not DDR400-compliant, set the
SDRAM clock to 133MHz to ensure system stability.
