Installing DDR2 DIMMS other than the recommended configurations
may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the
recommended configurations in the table on the next page.
Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR2 DIMMs in DIMM_A1
and DIMM_B1.
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the
same vendor.
Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 2 GB
system memory when you installed two 1 GB DDR2 memory.
This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb
chips or double-sided x16 memory modules.
