    What are the various types of memory that the P3TDDR motherboard can support? Answer: The P3TDDR has four 184-pin DIMM slots that support up to 4 GB of registered, unregistered, ECC and non-ECC DDR-RAM. However, all the memory you install must be the same; you cannot mix registered/unregis- tered, ECC/non-ECC memory modules.
