There is no jumper setting required for the memory size or type. It is automatically
detected by the system BIOS. You can use any single side SIMM combination list
below for, and the total memory size is to add them together, the maximum is 256MB.
SIMM1 SIMM2 Subtotal of Bank0
None None 0MB
4MB None 4MB
8MB None 8MB
16MB None 16MB
32MB None 32MB
64MB None 64MB
4MB 4MB 8MB
8MB 8MB 16MB
16MB 16MB 32MB
32MB 32MB 64MB
64MB 64MB 128MB
128MB 128MB 256MB
SIMM3 SIMM4 Subtotal of Bank1
None None 0MB

8MB 8MB 16MB
16MB 16MB 32MB
32MB 32MB 64MB
64MB 64MB 128MB
128MB 128MB 256MB
Total Memory Size = Subtotal of Bank0 + Subtotal of Bank1
Caution: Make sure that you install the same SIMM
type and size for each bank.
The driving capability of new generation chipset is limited because the lack of
memory buffer (to improve performance). This makes DRAM chip count an important
factor to be taking into consideration when you install SIMM. Unfortunately, there is
no way that BIOS can identified the correct chip count, you need to calculate the chip
count by yourself. The simple rule is: By visual inspection, use only SIMM with chip
count less than 24 chips.
