Overview
The motherboard comes with four 240-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual
Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a
240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are
notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets:

Memory Configurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2 DIMMs
into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
•
For dual-channel configuration, the total size of memory module(s)
installed per channel must be the same
(DIMM_A1+DIMM_B1=DIMM_A2+DIMM_B2)
•
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules
from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR2-533 Qualified Vendors
List on the next page for details.
• Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than
4 GB of system memory when you installed four 1 GB DDR2 memory
modules.
• Due to chipset limitation, DIMM modules with 128 Mb memory chips
or double-sided x16 memory chips are not supported in this
motherboard.
