Memory configurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB unbuffered non-ECC
DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
• If you installed four 1 GB memory modules, the system may detect
less than 3 GB of total memory because of address space allocation
for other critical functions. This limitation applies to Windows
®
XP
32-bit version operating system since it does not support Physical
Address Extension (PAE).
• If you installed Windows
®
XP 32-bit version operating system, we
recommend that you install less than 3 GB of total memory.
• For dual-channel configuration, the total size of memory module(s)
installed per channel must be the same (DIMM_A1 + DIMM_A2 =
DIMM_B1 + DIMM_B2).
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from
the same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualified Vendors List on the
next page for details.
• Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than
16 GB system memory when you installed four 4 GB DDR2 memory
modules.
• This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of
2048 Mb chips or double sided x16 memory modules.
