2.4 System memory
2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate II (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory
Modules (DIMM) sockets to support 240-pin DDR modules.
The figure illustrates the location of the DDR DIMM sockets:
2.4.2 Memory configurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered ECC or non-ECC
DDR2-533/667 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
• 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 Qualified Vendors List at the ASUS web
site.
• When installing one or two DIMMs, install the DIMM(s) to the blue slots
(DIMM_A2/DIMM_B2).
• Three DDR DIMMs intalled into any three memory sockets will function in
single-channel mode.
