Second USB Port Memory Configuration The P6I440LX/ATX Legend-I main board supports up to four 168PIN 3.3V un-buffered DIMM, provides a flexible size from 8MB up to 512MB SDRAM memory or from 8MB up to 1GB EDO memory. The following set of rules allows for optimum configurations.
Chapter 2 DIMM sockets can be populated in any order. However, to take advantage of potentially faster MA timing it is recommended to populate sockets in order. SDRAM and EDO DIMMs can be mixed within the memory array. The DRAM Timing register, which provides the DRAM speed grade control for the entire memory array, must be programmed to use the timings of the slowest DRAMs installed.
