1.7.2 Memory congurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2
DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The
system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel
conguration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then
mapped for single-channel operation.
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility,
it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
When installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows 32-bit
operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed
memory of less than 3GB is recommended.
If you install Windows
®
XP 32-bit operation system, a total memory of less
than 3GB is recommended.
This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb
chips or double sided x16 memory modules.
Notes on memory limitations
Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to
4 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a maximum
of 2 GB DIMMs on each slot, but only DDR2-800 and DDR2-667 2 GB
density modules are available for this conguration.
Some old-version DDR2-800 DIMMs may not match Intel
®
On-Die-Termination (ODT) requirement and will automatically downgrade
to run at DDR-667. If this heppens, contact your memory vendor to check
to ODT value.
