Memory Sockets & Modules
There are three memory module sockets on the mainboard.
They use 168-pin DIMM memory modules. The sockets func-
tion independently of each other. This mainboard has a very flex-
ible memory design that allows the use of a variety of memory
options up to a total of 256MB. There is more information about
this in Adding System Memory section of Section 3: Reconfiguring
Your Mainboard.
