• Due to the memory address limitation on 32‑bit Windows OS, when you install 4GB ® or more memory on the motherboard, the actual usable memory for the OS can be about 3GB or less. For effective use of memory, we recommend that you do any of the following: Use a maximum of 3GB system memory if you are using a 32‑bit Windows OS. ® ‑ I nstall a 64‑bit Windows OS if you want to install 4GB or more on the ® motherboard. ‑ F or more details, refer to the Microsoft support site at http://support.microsoft. ® com/kb/929605/en‑us. • The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect (SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module. Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a lower frequency than the vendor‑marked value. • For system stability, use a more efficient memory cooling system to support a full memory load (4 DIMMs). • Refer to www.asus.com for the latest Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors List) 1‑10 Chapter 1: Product introduction... -
