System Memory; General Dimm Notes - Asus CUV266 User Manual

3. HARDWARE SETUP

3.5 System Memory

This motherboard uses only Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Modules
(DIMMs). Three DIMM sockets are available for 2.5V (power level) DDR
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (DDR SDRAM) of 64, 128, 256,
512MB, or 1GB densities for a system memory configuration of 64MB up to 3GB.
One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM takes up one row on the motherboard.
DDR DIMMs support both ECC (Error Correction Code, typically used in servers)
and non-ECC (used in desktops/laptops).
Install memory in any combination as follows:
DIMM Location
Socket 1 (Rows 0&1)
Socket 2 (Rows 2&3)
Socket 3 (Rows 4&5)

3.5.1 General DIMM Notes

• DIMMs that have more than 18 chips are not supported on this motherboard.
• For the system CPU bus to operate 200MHz/266MHz, use only PC1600-/
PC2100-compliant DDR DIMMs.
• ASUS motherboards support Serial Presence Detect (SPD) DIMMs. This is the
memory of choice for best performance vs. stability.
• BIOS shows SDRAM memory on bootup screen.
• Single-sided DDR DIMMs come in 64MB,128MB, 256MB; double-sided DDR
DIMMs come in 128MB, 256MB, 512MB.
WARNING!
Make sure that the DIMM you use can handle the specified DDR
SDRAM speeds, otherwise the computer will not boot.
