DIMM Module Combination

Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports up to a maximum
size of 1GB. Users can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet their
own needs. Users may install memory modules of different type and density on
different-channel DDR DIMMs. However, memory modules of the same type and
density are required while using dual-channel DDR, or instability may happen.
