Important notes
1. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory
modules from the same vendor. See the DDR400 Qualified Vendor List
(QVL) on page 1-14.
2. Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB (Front Side
Bus). Refer to Table 1.
3. Always install DIMMs with the same CAS Latency.
4. Double-sided DDR DIMMs with x16 (data bus=16bit) memory chips are not
supported due to chipset limitation.
Table 1 Memory frequency/CPU FSB synchronization
This motherboard supports different memory frequencies depending on the CPU
FSB (Front Side Bus) and the type of DDR DIMM.
