1.7 System memory
1.7.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with two 240-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) and
two 184-pin DDR Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
DDR2 DIMMS are notched differently to prevent misplacement in DDR DIMM
sockets.
The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets:
1.7.2 Memory Configurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR/DDR2
DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this
section.
To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not use DDR and DDR2
memory simultaneously.
Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than
2 GB system memory when you installed two 1 GB DDR2 or DDR
memory modules.
