ASUS P5KPL 1-17
1.7.2 Memory congurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2
DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
Notes on memory limitations
• Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to
4 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a maximum
of 2 GB DIMMs on each slot, but only DDR2-800 and DDR2-667 2 GB
density modules are available for this conguration.
• Some old-version DDR2-800 DIMMs may not match Intel
®
On-Die-Termination (ODT) requirement and will automatically downgrade
to run at DDR-667. If this heppens, contact your memory vendor to check
to ODT value.

• 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
conguration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then
mapped for single-channel operation.
•
For single-channel conguration, install either two single-sided memory
modules or one double-sided memory module.
•
When installing four DDR2 DIMM modules, install the single-sided memory
modules.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility,
it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
• If you install two 2GB memory modules, the system may only recognize less
than 4GB because the address space is reserved for other critical functions.
This limitation appears on Windows
®
XP 32-bit operation system which does
not support Physical Address Extension (PAE).
• If you install Windows
®
XP 32-bit operation system, a total memory of less
than 4GB is recommended.
