Overview

The motherboard comes with two 240-pin Double Data Rate (DDR2) and two 184-
pin DDR Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
DDR2 DIMMS are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM
socket.
The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets:

• To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not use DDR and DDR2
memory simultaneously.
• Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 2
GB system memory when you installed two 1 GB DDR2 or DDR memory
modules.
