1. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain
memory modules from the same vendor. See the DDR400 Qualified
Vendor List (QVL) on page 1-16.
2. Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB (Front
Side Bus). Refer to the

3. Always install DIMMs with the same CAS Latency.
4. Double-sided DDR DIMMs with
x16x16
x16x16
x16 (data bus=16bit) memory chips
are not supported due to chipset limitation.

This motherboard supports different memory frequencies depending on the
CPU FSB (Front Side Bus) and the type of DDR DIMM.
