The DDR SDRAM technology evolved from the mainstream PC66, PC100, PC133 memory known as Single Data Rate (SDR) SDRAM.

  • Page 32: Memory Configurations

    2.5.2 Memory Configurations The motherboard supports system memory of up to 12GB in a two-way interleaved or non-interleaved configuration. The two-way interleaved configuration requires that you install identical DDR DIMMs (exactly the same type and size) in pairs. For example, if you installed a 512MB module into DDR1, you must install the same type of 512MB module into DDR2.
