III. Buffered and non-buffered: This motherboard supports non-buffered
DIMMs. You can identify non-buffered DIMMs and buffered DIMMs
according to the position of the notch, following figure is for your
reference:
non-buffered
Reserved
buffered
Because the positions are different, only non-buffered DIMMs can be inserted into the DIMM
sockets on this motherboard. Although most of DIMMs on current market are non-buffered, we
still suggest you to ask your dealer for the correct type.
IV. 2-clock and 4-clock signals: Although both of 2-clock and 4-clock
signals are supported by this motherboard, we strongly recommend
choosing 4-clock SDRAM in consideration of reliability.
Tip: To identify 2-clock and 4-clock SDRAM, you
may check if there are traces connected to
golden finger pin 79 and pin 163 of the SDRAM.
If there are traces, the SDRAM is probably 4-
clock; Otherwise, it is 2-clock.
There is no jumper setting required for the memory size or type. It is
automatically detected by the system BIOS, and the total memory size is to
add them together. The maximum is 512MB.
Total Memory Size = Size of DIMM1 + Size of DIMM2
