This motherboard supports different memory frequencies depending on
the CPU FSB (Front Side Bus) and the type of DDR DIMM.

*When using 800MHz CPU FSB, PC2700 DDR DIMMs may run only at
320MHz (not 333MHz) due to chipset limitation.

A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction.
DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM!
