Motherboard Description

SY-6BA+ IV

10

t wo, three, or four sockets. Using the serial presence detect (SPD) data

structure, programmed into an E²PROM on the DIMM, the BIOS can

determine the SDRAM’s size and speed. Minimum DIMM memory size is

8 MB; maximum DIMM memory size is 256 MB. Memory size and speed

can vary bet ween sockets.

The motherboard supports the following memory features:
l 168- pin DIMMs with gold- plated contacts
l 66/ 100/ 133 MHz SDRAM
l Non- ECC (64- bit) and ECC (72- bit) memory
l 3.3 V memory only
l Supports 8/ 16/ 32/ 64/ 128/ 256 MB DIMM Modules
l Support unbuffered or registered single- or double- sided DIMMs

Note

Slot 1 processors with 100 MHz front-side bus should be paired only with

100 MHz SDRAM. Processors with 66 MHz front side bus can be paired

with either 66 MHz or 100 MHz SDRAM.

1-8.2 SDRAM

SDRAM improves memory performance through memory access that is

synchronous with the front- side bus clock. Burst transfer rates at x- 1- 1- 1

timing can be achieved using SDRAM, while asynchronous memory

subsystem are typically limited at x- 2- 2- 2 transfer rates.

¿

Note

All memory components and DIMMs used with the SY-6BA+ IV

motherboard must comply with the PC SDRAM specifications. These

include: the PC SDRAM Specification (memory component specific), the

PC Unbuffered DIMM Specification, and the PC Serial Presence Detect

Specification.
