On-Board Peripherals
Due to chipset (Intel 865P) architecture limitation, a FSB 533 Pentium 4 processor will support
DDR333 and DDR266 mem ory module. A FSB 400 Pentium 4 processor will only support DDR
266 memory module.
(Note 1) An FSB800 CPU can be supported through overclocking in BIOS.
(Note 2) When FSB800 is selected as CPU frequency, memory will automatically adjust to DDR400.
(Note 3) Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system
usage and therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount.
For example, 4 GB of memory size will instead be shown as 3.xxGB memory during
system startup.
