2.4 System memory
2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with six fully-buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) sockets to
support 240-pin FB-DIMM modules. An FB-DIMM module has a different pin-
out from DDR2 DIMMs so you cannot install DDR2 DIMMs on an FB-DIMM
socket. Note that an FB-DIMM socket has an Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB)
chip that allows memory-to-CPU connection at gigabit speed.
The gure illustrates the location of the FB-DIMM sockets:
2.4.2 Memory congurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB registered ECC
FB-DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
• For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory
modules from the same vendor. Refer to the Qualied Vendors List
on the ASUS web site.
• This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of
128 Mb chips or double-rank x16 memory modules.
• If you are installing only one memory module, install into the white
socket labeled DIMM_00. Installing into any other socket will not
work.
