• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The
system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel
conguration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then
mapped for single-channel operation.
• For single-channel conguration, install either two single-sided memory
modules or one double-sided memory modules.
• Install single-sided memory modules when using four DDR2 DIMM
modules.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the
same vendor. Visit ASUS websie (www.asus.com) for the latest Qualied
Vendor Lists.
• If you install two1 GB memory modules, the system may only recognize
less than 2 GB because the address space is reserved for other critical
functions. This limitation appears on Windows
®
XP 32-bit operation system
which does not support Physical Address Extension (PAE).
• If you install Windows
®
XP 32-bit operation system, a total memory of less
than 2 GB is recommended.
