Asus P5N7A-VM Computer Hardware User Manual


 
ASUS P5N7A-VM 1-19
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.
This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb
chips.

Notes on memory limitations
Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to
16 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a maximum
of 4 GB DIMMs on each slot.
Some old-version DDR2-800 DIMMs may not match Intel
®
’s
On-Die-Termination (ODT) requirement and will automatically downgrade
to run at DDR2-667. If this happens, contact your memory vendor to check
the ODT value.
Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-800 with CL=4 will be downgraded to run
at DDR2-667 by default setting. If you want to operate with lower latency,
adjust the memory timing manually.
