2.5 System memor y
2.5.1 Overview
This motherboard uses only Double Data Rate (DDR) Synchronous Dynamic
Random Access Memory (SDRAM) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs).
These sockets support up to 3GB system memory using non-ECC PC200/
266 DIMMs.
Each DIMM socket/module is two-sided: each side defines one “row” of
memory. DIMMs come in combinations of single or double-sided types
ranging through 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB to form a total
memory size of 64MB to 3GB.
~ Three (3) sockets are available for both 266MHz-PC2100 or 200MHz-
PC1600 DDR DIMMs to form a memory size of 64MB to 3GB.
