3.5.1 DDR DIMM Support
The three DDR DIMM sockets support 2.5Volt (power level) Double Data Rate
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (DDR SDRAM) of 64MB, 128MB,
256MB and 512MB to form a memory size between 64MB to 1.5GB. One side (with
memory chips) of the DIMM takes up one row on the motherboard.

1. DIMMs must be populated consecutively, in order, starting with DIMM Socket
1, then 2 and 3.
2. The total number of banks must not exceed five: ie.: two dual load modules and
one single load module. Note: Do not populate DIMM Socket 3 with any dual
load modules.
