OverviewOverview

Overview

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline

Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.

A DDR module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 DIMM but has a

184-pin footprint. DDR DIMMs are notched to match the break on the

socket and ensure correct installation.

The figure illustrates the location of the DDR DIMM sockets:

Memory configurations

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB registered ECC DDR

DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

• 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 QVL.

• Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than

8 GB system memory when you installed four 2 GB DDR memory

modules.

• This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of

128 Mb chips or double-sided x16 memory modules.

• Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations

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

the recommended configurations on the next page.

• When all four sockets are populated with 2 GB DIMMs (total 8 GB),

the system may detect only less than 8 GB due to resource

allocation on onboard devices.
