ASUS M2N32 WS Professional 2-13

2.4.2 Memory congurations

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR2

DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

Important notice on installing Windows

XP 32-bit version

If you install Windows

XP 32-bit version Operating System (OS), the limitation

of this OS version is that it may reserve a certain amount of memory space for

system devices. We recommend that you install less than 3 GB system memory

if you would like to work under Windows

XP 32-bit version OS. The excess

memory installation will not cause any usage problem, but it will not give users

the benet of manipulating this excess memory space.

• For dual-channel conguration, 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, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from

the same vendor. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) for the latest

Qualied Vendors List.

• When using only one DDR2 DIMM module, install it into slot DIMM_A1

only.

• For single-channel memory conguration, start installing the DDR2 DIMMs

from slot DIMM_A1 or DIMM_B1.

• For dual-channel memory conguration, install the DIMMs in slots

DIMM_B1 and DIMM_A1 (yellow slots); install another pair of DIMMs in

slots DIMM_B2 and DIMM_A2 (black slots).
