Asus P5LD2-DH Computer Hardware User Manual


 
ASUS P5LD2-FM/DH/VP 1-15
1.6 System memory
1.6.1 Over view
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 dierently to
prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
The gure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:
1.6.2 Memor y configurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB unbuered 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_A2 = DIMM_B1 + DIMM_B2).
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 the next page for details.
Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 4 GB system
memory when you installed four 1 GB DDR2 memory modules.
This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb chips
or double sided x16 memory modules.
