DDR2 SDRAM PC2-5300E (667 MHz) unbuffered ECC or DDR2 SDRAM PC2-6400E (800 MHz)
ECC available on data, parity on address and command
Supports up to 16 GB DDR2-667 or DDR2-800 ECC unbuffered memory
NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: Maximum memory capacities assume 64-bit operating systems, such as genuine Windows® Vista NOTE:
Business 64, XP Professional x64 Edition, Red Hat Linux 64-bit. Genuine Windows Vista Business 32 and
XP Professional (32-bit) support up to 4 GB. 32-bit Linux supports up to 8 GB.
PC2-5300E DDR2-667 ECC Unbuffered or PC2-6400E DDR2-800 ECC Unbuffered RAM DIMMs
Only Error Checking and Correcting unbuffered DDR2 DIMMs are supported and must be either x8 or
x16 width. Memory upgrades are accomplished by adding DIMMs of the same or varied sizes. The Intel
chipset supports both PC2-5300 DDR2-667 and the PC2-6400E DDR2-800 ECC unbuffered memory. It
is suggested to not mix ECC and non-ECC memory.
For best performance the total amount and type of memory loaded into Channel A and Channel B should
be the same. If it is not, your computer will see all the RAM installed but will run the memory controller at
a lower performance mode. Although not required, for best performance add the memory in pairs rather
than as a single DIMM (two 1 GB DIMMs will have better performance than a single 2 GB DIMM). Also,
add the memory into both channels (e.g., one in socket 1 and one in socket 3) to take advantage of dual
channel performance. If you have unused slots within a channel, make them socket 2 and socket 4. This
provides the best margin for the memory bus. If you are only using 1 DIMM, install it in socket 1.
