Memory Sockets & Modules - Elitegroup Computer Systems P6EX-A+ User Manual

P6EX-A+ User's Manual
1: Package & Product Information – 1.7
Some older ISA designs may not support this standard and
may therefore require manual configuration. You should consult
the specifications or documentation for a card to determine if
this is the case and what needs do be done to properly configure
the card.
The AGP Slot
The AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) slot is for an AGP 3D
video display card. Unlike PCI-based display cards, the AGP tech-
nology provides sufficient data throughput and speed to facili-
tate fully enabled 3-Dimensional and multimedia graphics dis-
play. AGP display cards using this dedicated slot are available
from a variety of vendors.
The AGP slot also requires Operating System support. Win-
dows 98 directly supports AGP and other support methods may
be forthcoming. Please see Section 2 for more information.
Memory Sockets & Modules
There are three memory module sockets on the mainboard
which require 168-pin DIMM memory modules using 3.3V non-
buffered memory chips. You can install any combinationof single-
sided DIMM modules up to the total memory limit of 256MB
SDRAM or EDO DRAM.
Note: Double-sided DIMM Limitation Note: Double-sided DIMM Limitation
Note: Double-sided DIMM Limitation Note: Double-sided DIMM Limitation Note: Double-sided DIMM Limitation
DIMM1 and DIMM2 have a limitation. If you install a double-
sided DIMM (memory chips on both sides) in either socket, you
can not install any module in the other socket. DIMM3 is inde-
pendent and does not have this limitation.
