You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR2
DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
Important notice on installing Windows
®
XP 32-bit version
If you install Windows
®
XP 32-bit version Operating System (OS), the limitation
of this OS version is that it may reserve a certain amount of memory space for
system devices. We recommend that you install less than 3 GB system memory
if you would like to work under Windows
®
XP 32-bit version OS. The excess
memory installation will not cause any usage problem, but it will not give users
the benet of manipulating this excess memory space.

• For dual-channel conguration, the total size of memory module(s) installed
per channel must be the same (DIMM_A1 + DIMM_B1 = DIMM_A2 +
DIMM_B2).
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from
the same vendor. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) for the latest
Qualied Vendors List.
• When using only one DDR2 DIMM module, install it into slot DIMM_A1
only.
• For single-channel memory conguration, start installing the DDR2 DIMMs
from slot DIMM_A1 or DIMM_B1.
• For dual-channel memory conguration, install the DIMMs in slots
DIMM_B1 and DIMM_A1 (yellow slots); install another pair of DIMMs in
slots DIMM_B2 and DIMM_A2 (black slots).
