Memory configurations

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered ECC or non-ECC

DDR2-533/667 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum

compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules

from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualified Vendors List at the

ASUS web site.

• When installing one or two DIMMs, install the DIMM(s) to the blue slots

(DIMM_A2/DIMM_B2).

• Three DDR DIMMs intalled into any three memory sockets will function

in single-channel mode.
