2.4 System memory
2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory
Modules (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a
240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched
differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
The gure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:
Channel Sockets
Channel A DIMM_A1 and DIMM_A2
Channel B DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2
2.4.2 Memory congurations
You may install 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, or 2 GB unbuffered ECC/Non-ECC
DDR2 DIMMS into the DIMM sockets using the memory congurations in this
section.
For dual-channel conguration, the total size of memory module(s) installed
per channel must be the same for better performance (DIMM_A1+DIMM_
A2=DIMM_B1+DIMM_B2).
Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 8 GB
of system memory when you installed four 2 GB DDR2 memory modules.
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the
same vendor. Refer to the Memory Qualied Vendors List at the ASUS web
site.
