3. HARDWARE SETUP

3.5 System Memory (DIMM)

NOTE: No hardware or BIOS setup is required after adding or removing memory.

This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Sockets are
available for 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic Random Ac-
cess Memory (SDRAM). One side (with memory chips) of the DIMM takes up one
row on the motherboard.

Memory speed setup is recommended through SDRAM Configuration in 4.4.1
Chip Configuration.

NOTE: Make sure the total installed memory does not exceeds 512MB. Otherwise,
the system may hang during startup.

3.5.1 General DIMM Notes

ASUS motherboards support SPD (Serial Presence Detect) DIMMs. This is the
memory of choice for best performance vs. stability.

BIOS shows SDRAM memory on bootup screen.

Single-sided DIMMs come in 16, 32, 64,128MB; double-sided come in 32, 64,
128, 256MB.

Install memory in any combination as follows:
