Memory  
•  Four 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets 
•  Support for DDR2 800 MHz or DDR2 667 MHz DIMMs 
•  Support for up to 16 GB of system memory using DDR2 800 MHz or DDR2 
667 MHz DIMMs  
 
1.5  System Memory 
The board has four DIMM sockets and support the following memory features: 
•  1.8 V DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs with gold plated contacts, with the option to raise the 
voltage to support higher performance DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs 
•  Dual channel interleaved mode support 
•  Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: 
Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported. 
•  16 GB maximum total system memory using DDR2 800 MHz or DDR2 667 MHz 
DIMMs; refer to Section 2.1.1 on page 45 for information on the total amount of 
addressable memory. 
•  Minimum recommended total system memory:  512 MB 
•  Non-ECC DIMMs 
•  Serial Presence Detect 
•  DDR2 800 MHz or DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM DIMMs 
•  DDR2 667 MHz DIMMs with SPD timings of only 5-5-5 (tCL-tRCD-tRP) 
•  DDR2 800 MHz DIMMs with SPD timings of only 5-5-5 or 6-6-6 (tCL-tRCD-tRP) 

 
NOTE 
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board 
should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data 
structure.  This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to 
accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance.  If non-SPD memory 
is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but 
performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the 
determined frequency.
