NOTE:
DDR 333 memory operates at 320 MHz when used with an 800-MHz front-side bus.
DDR Memory Overview
DDR memory modules should be installed in pairs of matched memory size. This means that if you
purchased your computer with 128 MB of memory installed and you want to add another 128 MB of
memory, you should install it in the appropriate connector. If the DDR memory modules are not installed in
matched pairs, the computer will continue to operate, but with a slight reduction in performance.

NOTE:
Always install DDR memory modules in the order indicated on the system board.

•
Install a pair of matched memory modules in connectors DIMM3 and DIMM4.
•
Do not install ECC memory modules.
