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
conguration. 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.
