2. System Memory (DIMM)
Only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM’s) can be used with this motherboard.
Two sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) Unbuffered Synchronous DRAMs
(SDRAM) or EDO DRAM of either 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128MB to form a memory size
between 8MB to 256MB. One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM module
takes up one Row on the motherboard.
IMPORTANT: Memory speed setup is required through "Auto Configura-
tion" in BIOS Chipset Setup of the BIOS SOFTWARE.
Install memory in any combination as follows:
DIMM Type 168-pin DIMM Memory Modules Total Memory
Socket 1 SDRAM 8MB, 16MB, 32MB x1
(Rows 0&1) SDRAM 64MB, 128MB - but
(Socket 3 must be empty)
EDO 8, 16, 32, 64, 128MB
Socket 2 SDRAM 8MB, 16MB, 32MB x1
(Rows 2&3) SDRAM 64MB, 128MB - but

Total System Memory (Max 256MB) =
NOTE:
Maximum memory size is 256MB total for this motherboard.
Socket 3 will not support 64MB or 128MB DIMMs with 64Mbit SDRAM cells.
If Socket 1 and/or Socket 2 has 64MB or 128MB DIMM’s with 64Mbit SDRAM
cells, Socket 3 must be empty.
