Installing DDR DIMMS other than the recommended configurations
may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of
the recommended configurations in the table on the next page.

Install only i d e n t i c a l

i d e n t i c a l (the same type and size) DDR DIMM in

DIMM_A and DIMM_B.

•

Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from
the same vendor.

Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than
4 GB system memory when you installed four 1 GB DDR memory.

This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of
128 Mb chips or double-sided x16 memory modules.
