• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The
system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel
configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then
mapped for single-channel operation.
• 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 four 1 or 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.
• This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb
chips or double sided x16 memory modules.
Notes on memory limitations
• Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to
8 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a maximum of
2 GB DIMMs on each slot, but only DDR2-533 and DDR2-667 2 GB density
modules are available for this configuration.
• Some old-version DDR2-800/667 DIMMs may not match Intel
®
’s
On-Die-Termination (ODT) requirement and will automatically downgrade to
run at DDR2-533. If this happens, contact your memory vendor to check the
ODT value.
• Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-800 with CL=4 will be downgraded to run at
DDR2-667 by default setting. If you want to operate with lower latency, adjust
the memory timing manually.
• Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-667 with CL=3 will be downgraded to run at
DDR2-533 by default setting. If you want to operate with lower latency, adjust
the memory timing manually.
• The total memory may has 8MB reduction under Single Channel mode,
and 16MB reduction under Dual Channel mode because the address space
is reserved for the Intel
®
vPro
™
Technology and the Intel
®
Quiet System
Technology.
