2.5.2 Memory configurations

You may install 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB DDR DIMMs into

the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.

Important notes on memory configurations

1. Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations

may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of

the recommended configurations in Table 1.

2. In dual-channel configurations, install only identical (the same

type and size) DDR DIMM pairs for each channel.

3. Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum

compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules

from the same vendor. See list of qualified vendors on page 2-13.

4. Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB

(Front Side Bus). Refer to Table 2.

5. DIMMs installed into any three sockets will function in single-

channel mode.

6. When all four sockets are populated with 1GB DIMMs (total 4GB),

the system may detect only 3+GB (a little less than 4GB) due to

ICH5R resource allocation.

7. Double-sided DDR DIMMs with X16 (databus width = 16-bit)

memory chips are not supported due to chipset limitation.

8. It is recommended to use the blue DIMM slots first.
