2-4 To install the system memory
This motherboard provides three 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) sites
for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum memory size
of 2.0GB DDR SDRAM.

Make sure the total installed memory does not exceed 2.0GB, otherwise the system
may hang during startup.
Generally speaking, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can
refer to figure 2-4 to see what a 184-Pin PC2100/PC2700/PC3200 DDR SDRAM module looks
like.

NOTE!
When you install DIMM modules fully into the DIMM sockets the eject tab
should be locked into the DIMM modules firmly and fit to its indention on both
sides.
WARNING!
For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 166MHz, use only PC2700-compliant
DDR Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most system will
not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing
issues, if your DDR Modules are not PC2100-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM
clock to 100MHz to ensure system stability.
