3.5 System Memory

This motherboard uses only Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Four DIMM

sockets are available for 3.3Volt (power level) unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic

Random Access Memory (SDRAM) of 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB, or 1GB densities

for a system memory configuration of 32MB up to 4GB. One side (with memory

chips) of the DIMM takes up one row on the motherboard. This motherboard also

supports NEC’s Virtual Channel SDRAMs and Enhanced Memory System’s High-

speed DRAMs.

Setup the memory speed in BIOS (see 4.4.1 Chip Configuration).

IMPORTANT (see General DIMM Notes below for more)

• SDRAMs used must be compatible with the current Intel PC133 SDRAM

specifications.

• DO NOT attempt to mix registered SDRAMs with VCM SDRAMs.

Install memory in any combination as follows:

DIMM Location 168-pin DIMM Total Memory

Socket 1 (Rows 0&1) SDRAM 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB, 1GB x1

Socket 2 (Rows 2&3) SDRAM 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB, 1GB x1

Socket 3 (Rows 4&5) SDRAM 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB, 1GB x1

Socket 4 (Rows 6&7) SDRAM 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB, 1GB x1

Total System Memory (Max. 4GB) =

3.5.1 General DIMM Notes

• DIMMs that have more than 18 chips are not supported on this motherboard.

• For the system CPU bus to operate 100MHz/133MHz, use only PC100-/PC133-

compliant DIMMs.

• ASUS motherboards support Serial Presence Detect (SPD) DIMMs. This is the

memory of choice for best performance vs. stability.

• SDRAM chips are generally thinner with higher pin density than EDO (Extended

Data Output) chips.

• BIOS shows SDRAM memory on bootup screen.

• Single-sided DIMMs come in 16, 32, 64,128, 256MB; double-sided come in 32, 64,

128, 256, 512MB.

WARNING! Make sure that the DIMM you use can handle the specified SDRAM

speeds, otherwise the computer does not boot.
