Important notice on installing Windows
If you install Windows
limitation of this OS version is that it may reserve a certain amount of
memory space for system devices. We recommend that you install less
than 3 GB system memory if you would like to work under Windows
32-bit version OS. The excess memory installation will not cause any
usage problem, but it will not give users the benefit of manipulating this
excess memory space.

Notes on memory limitations
• Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to
8 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a
maximum of 2 GB DIMMs on each slot, but only DDR2-533 2 GB
density modules are available for this configuration.

Server
Windows
Enterprise Edition
• Some old-version DDR2-667 DIMMs may not match Intel
On-Die-Termination (ODT) requirement and will automatically
downgrade to run at DDR2-533. If this happens, contact your
memory vendor to check the ODT value.
• Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-667 with CL=4 will be downgraded
to run at DDR2-533 by default setting. If you want to operate with
lower latency, adjust the memory timing manually.
• Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-533 with CL=3 will be downgraded
to run at DDR2-400 by default setting. If you want to operate with
lower latency, adjust the memory timing manually.
