Asus P5GZ-MX Computer Hardware User Manual


 
ASUS P5GZ-MX 1-15
1.7 System memory
1.7.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with two 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:
1.7.2 Memory configu rations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2
DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
For dual-channel conguration, the total size of memory module(s)
installed per channel must be the same (DIMM_A1 = DIMM_B1).
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules
from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualied Vendors List on
next page for details.
This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of
128 Mb chips or double-sided x16 memory moudules. .
