Installing Memory

You can install from 8 MB to 384 MB of memory in the motherboard DIMM sockets. The board
has DIMM sockets arranged as banks 0, 1, and 2. The motherboard supports the following
memory features:
•
168-pin 3.3 V DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
•
66 MHz unbuffered SDRAM
•
Non-ECC (64-bit) or ECC (72-bit) memory
•
8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, and 128 MB modules
When adding memory, follow these guidelines:
•
You can install DIMMs in any of the three banks.
•
You can use different size DIMMs in different banks.
•
The BIOS detects the size and type of installed memory.
•
For ECC operation to be available, all installed memory must be ECC and you must enable the
ECC Configuration feature in the Setup program (see page 34).
NOTE
DIMMs must meet the Intel specifications for either 64-bit or 72-bit SDRAM. For information
about vendors that support these specifications refer to the Intel World Wide Web site:
