Asus P5BV-M User Manual

ASUS P5BV-M 2-11
2.4 System memory
2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory
Modules (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a
240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched
differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
The gure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:
2.4.2 Memory congurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered ECC or non-ECC
DDR2-667/800 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. Refer to the DDR2 Qualied Vendors List on the ASUS web
site.
• When installing one or two DIMMs, install the DIMM(s) to the blue slots
(DIMM_A2/DIMM_B2).
• Three DDR2 DIMMs intalled into any three memory sockets will function in
dual-channel Asymmetric mode.
