Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer
to figure 2-4 to see what a 184-Pin DDR266/DDR333/DDR400 DDR SDRAM module looks
like.
NOTE!
When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab should be
locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both sides.
WARNING! For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 200MHz, use only DDR400-compliant DDR
Modules. When this motherboard operate at 200Mhz, most system will not even
boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your
SDR Modules are not DDR400-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 133MHz
to ensure system stability.
