3. HARDWARE SETUP
3.5 System Memory (DIMM)
NOTE: No hardware or BIOS setup is required after adding or removing memory.
This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Sockets are
available for 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic Random Access
Memory (SDRAM). One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM takes up one row on
the motherboard.
Memory speed setup is recommended through SDRAM Configuration in 4.4.1
Chip Configuration.
Install memory in any combination as follows:
DIMM Location
Socket 1 (Rows 0&1)
Socket 2 (Rows 2&3)
Socket 3 (Rows 4&5)
CAUTION! If the total installed memory exceeds 512MB, the system will hang
during startup.
3.5.1 General DIMM Notes
•
For the system CPU bus to operate at 133MHz, use only PC133-compliant
DIMMs. When this motherboard operates at 133MHz, most system will not
even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues
involved under this speed. If your DIMMs are not PC133-compliant, set the
CPU bus frequency to 100MHz RAM to ensure system stability.
•
ASUS motherboards support SPD (Serial Presence Detect) DIMMs. This is the
memory of choice for best performance vs. stability.
•
BIOS shows SDRAM memory on bootup screen.
•
Single-sided DIMMs come in 16, 32, 64,128, 256MB; double-sided come in 32,
64, 128, 256, 512MB.
