Asus M2N68 - 1.7.2 Memory Configurations

1-14 Chapter 1: Product introduction
1.7.2 Memory congurations
You may install 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered ECC and non-ECC DDR2
DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
Recommended Memory Congurations
• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The
system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel
conguration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then
mapped for single-channel operation.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the
same vendor.
• When installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows 32-
bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total
installed memory of less than 3GB is recommended.
• This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb
chips.
