• Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations
may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of
the recommended configurations in Table 1.
• Use the blue DIMM slots first.
• In Dual-channel configurations, install only identical (the same type
and size) DDR DIMM pairs for each channel.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency, otherwise, the
system may run in a lower frequency. For optimum compatibility, it
is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same
vendor.
• When all four sockets are populated with 1 GB DIMMs (total 4 GB),
the system may detect only 3583 MB due to the Southbridge
resource allocation.
• Three DDR DIMMs installed into any three memory sockets will
function in single channel mode.
• Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB.
Refer to Table 2 for configurations.
