The SPI-6941-LV PCIMG PCI/ISA Industrial CPU Card supports three dual inline
memory module (DIMM 168-pin) sockets for a maximum total memory of 1.5GB. Using the
serial presence detect (SPD) data structure, programmed into an E
2
PROM on the DIMM, the
BIOS can determine the SDRAM’s size and speed. For each slot, minimum memory size is
64MB; maximum memory size is 512MB. Memory size and speed can vary between sockets.
The CPU card supports the following memory features:
• 168-pin DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
• 100 MHz or 133MHz SDRAM
• Non-ECC (64-bit) and ECC (72-bit) memory
• 3.3V memory only
• Unbuffered single or double-sided DIMMs in the following sizes:

DRAM (SDRAM) improves memory performance through memory
access that is synchronous with the memory clock. Burst transfer rates at x-1-1-1 timing can be
achieved using SDRAM, while asynchronous memory subsystems are typically limited at x-
2-2-2 transfer rates.
