On-Board Peripherals
Due to chipset (Intel 865PE) architecture limitation, DDR 400 memory module is only
supported when using FSB 800 Pentium 4 processor. 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.
