System Memory Features

The D845GVAD2 board provide the following memory features:

  • 2.5 V (only) 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
  • Unbuffered, unregistered single-sided or double-sided DIMMs
  • Maximum total system memory: 2 GB; minimum total system memory: 64 MB
  • DDR266/200 MHz SDRAM DIMMs only
  • Serial Presence Detect (SPD)
  • Suspend to RAM

CAUTION:
Do not use ECC DIMMs with this board. Using ECC DIMMs could damage the board.

Integrator's Notes:

  • Registered DIMMs are not supported on the Desktop Board.
  • Double-sided x16 DIMMs are not supported.
  • Remove the AGP video card before installing or upgrading memory to avoid interference with the memory retention mechanism.

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.

The following table lists the supported DDR DIMM configurations.

DIMM Capacity Configuration(Note) DDR SDRAM Density DDR SDRAM Organization Front-side/Back-side Number of DDR SDRAM Devices
64 MB SS 64 Mbit 8 M x 8/empty 8
64 MB SS 128 Mbit 8 M x 16/empty 4
128 MB DS 64 Mbit 8 M x 8/8 M x 8 16
128 MB SS 128 Mbit 16 M x 8/empty 8
128 MB SS 256 Mbit 16 M x 16/empty 4
256 MB DS 128 Mbit 16 M x 8/16 M x 8 16
256 MB SS 256 Mbit 32 M x 8/empty 8
256 MB SS 512 Mbit 32 M x 16/empty 4
512 MB DS 256 Mbit 32 M x 8/32 M x 8 16
512 MB SS 512 Mbit 64 M x 8/empty 8
1024 MB DS 512 Mbit 64 M x 8/64 M x 8 16

Note:
In this column, "DS" refers to double-sided memory modules (containing DDR SDRAM devices on both sides) and "SS" refers to single-sided memory modules (containing DDR SDRAM devices on only one side).
