3.3 System Memory Configuration
The AK32 mainboard has two 184-pin and two 168-pin DIMM slots that
allow you to install from 16MB up to 2GB of system memory.
Each 184-pin DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) slot can accommodate
64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB of PC1600/PC2100 compliant
2.5V single or double side 64-bit wide data path DDR SDRAM modules.
Each 168-pin DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) Slot can accommodate
16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB of PC100/PC133
compliant 3.3V single or double side 64-bit wide data path SDRAM modules.
Install Memory:
Install memory in any or all of the slots and in any combination shown as
follows.
SDR SDRAM
DDR SDRAM
Important:You can choose 168-pin SDR SDRAM or 184-pin DDR
SDRAM to boot, but the system doesn't start if you use
both of them at the same time!
Note:
You do not need to set any jumper to configure memory since the
BIOS utility can detect the system memory automatically. You can
check the total system memory value in the BIOS Standard CMOS
Setup menu.
Upgrade Memory:
You can easily upgrade the system memory by inserting additional SDRAM
modules in available DIMM slots. The total system memory is calculated by
simply adding up the memory in all DIMM slots. After upgrade, the new
system memory value will automatically be computed and displayed in the
field " Standard CMOS Setup" of BIOS setup program.
