Due to chipset (Intel 875P/865G/865PE) architecture limitation, a FSB 800 Pentium 4 processor
will support DDR400/DDR333/DDR266 memory 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 memory module.
(Note 1) 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.
