Memory configurations
You may install 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB unbuffered ECC/
non-ECC DDR DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations
in this section.
Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations
may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure.
Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR DIMM pairs for
each channel.
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from
the same vendor.
Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard does not support DIMM
modules with less than or equal to 128 Mb memory chips.
If you are installing only one DIMM module for a Single-channel
configuration, install the module on DIMM_A1 (blue slot).
