Installing and Removing Memory
CAUTION
Install memory in the DIMM sockets prior to installing the AGP video card to avoid interference
with the memory retention mechanism.

To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel
®
SDRAM memory specifications, the boards require
DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure.
You can access the PC Serial Presence Detect Specification at:
