2.  System Memory (SIMM)

This motherboard supports six 72-pin SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) of
4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 384MB.
The SIMMs can be either 60ns or 70ns Fast Page Mode (Asymmetric or Symmet-
ric), Extended Data Output (EDO) (Burst Extended Data Output or BEDO and par-
ity are not supported).  To support ECC, you must use true (as opposed to phantom
parity generated by TTL chips) 36-bit parity-type SIMM (e.g. 8 chips + 4 parity
chips) in pairs for all modules.  Mixing 32-bit non-parity SIMM (e.g., 8 chips) and
36-bit SIMM (e.g., 12 chips) will work minus the ECC feature.

IMPORTANT:  Memory setup is required through “Auto Configuration” in the
CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP of Section IV, BIOS software. Each bank must
have the same size memory installed in pairs. Do not use memory modules with
more than 24 chips per module.  Modules with more than 24 chips exceed the design
specifications of the memory subsystem and will be unstable.
