Main Memory
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel
®
SDRAM memory specifications, the board should
be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. If your
memory modules do not support SPD, you will see a notification to this effect on the screen at
power up. The BIOS will attempt to configure the memory controller for normal operation.
The desktop board supports:
• Four 184-pin Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMMs)
connectors with gold-plated contacts
• Unbuffered, non-registered single or double-sided DIMMs
• Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory only
• Non-ECC RAM
• 2.5 V memory
• Memory configuration listed below:
⎯ Up to 1.0 GB utilizing 256 Mb technology
⎯ Up to 4.0 GB utilizing 512Mb or 1 GB technology
NOTE
System resources (such as PCI and PCI Express) require physical memory address locations that
reduce available memory addresses above 3 GB. This may result in less than 4 GB of memory
being available to the operating system and applications.
