2.4.1 2.4.1 Overview Overview
The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline
Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a
240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are
notched to match the break on the socket and ensure correct installation.
The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR2
533/667 MHz DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
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, system configuration determines
the system memory availability. The system typically shows about
3~4 GB available memory space due to chipset resource allocation
for onboard devices and add-on cards. This will vary for different
add-on cards that the user installs. Some PCI cards need larger
memory space, which will make the total available memory space
below 3 GB.
• To prevent compatibility issues, do not combine single and
double-sided memory modules on the same motherboard/system.
