Overview

Overview Overview Overview Overview
The motherboard comes with eight fully-buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) sockets
to support 240-pin FB-DIMM modules. An FB-DIMM module has a different
pin-out from DDR2 DIMMs so you cannot install DDR2 DIMMs on an FB-DIMM
socket. Note that an FB-DIMM socket has an Advanced Memory Buffer
(AMB) chip that allows memory-to-CPU connection at gigabit speed.
The figure illustrates the location of the FB-DIMM sockets:

For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory
modules from the same vendor. Refer to the Qualified Vendors List
on the ASUS web site.
This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of
128 MB chips or double-rank x16 memory modules.
If you are installing only one memory module, install into the blue
socket labeled DIMM_00. Installing into any other socket will not
work.
