Warning:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, proces-
sor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the
upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only.
If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protec-
tion by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal
part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish
and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any proce-
dures requiring ESD protection.
The system board supports DDR SDRAM DIMM. Double Data
Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) is a type of SDRAM that doubles the
data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and falling
edge of each clock. This effectively doubles the speed of operation
therefore doubling the speed of data transfer.
Important:
Intel 915GM supports up to DDR333 only. If you installed
DDR400, the speed is limited to that of a DDR333’s speed.
However, due to the CPU overclocking feature of the system
board (adjustable in the BIOS), the memory speed will increase
in accordance to the overclocked CPU speed. In other words,
the memory speed is interrelated to the CPU speed.
