Due to chipset (Intel 865GV) architecture limitation, a FSB 800 Pentium 4 processor will support
DDR400/DDR333/DDR266 mem ory module. A FSB 533 Pentium 4 processor will support
DDR333 and DDR266 memory module. A FSB 400 Pentium 4 processor will only support
DDR 266 mem ory module.
(Note 1) Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system
usage and therefore the actual mem ory size is less than the stated amount.
For exam ple, 4 GB of memory size will instead be shown as 3.xxGB memory
during system startup.
