1.5.2 Memory Configurations
You can install 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1GB and 2GB DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs into the
SODIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
Installing DDR2 DIMM other than the recommended
configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot
failure. Use any of the recommended configurations.
For dual-channel configuration, the total size of memory
module(s) installed per channel must be the same (DIMM1 =
DIMM2).
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules
from the same vendor.
Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less
than 1 GB system memory when you installed one 1 GB DDR2
memory modules.
This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of
128 Mb chips or double-sided x16 memory modules.
Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB
(Front Side Bus). Refer to the Memory frequency/CPU FSB
synchronization table.
