Tested Memory
Memory testing has been performed under the following category:
3rd Party Tested Memory
3rd party tested memory occurs as requested by the memory vendors and is tested at an independent memory house that is not a part of Intel - Computer Memory Test Labs (CMTL).
Note: This link will take you away from Intel's web site.
System Memory Features
The board has two DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
- 2.5 V (only) 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMMs
- Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.
- Minimum total system memory: 128 MB
- Non-ECC DIMMs
- Serial Presence Detect
- DDR 400 or DDR 333 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
The following table lists the supported system bus frequency and memory speed combinations.
| To use this type of DIMM... |
The processor's system bus frequency must be... |
| DDR 400 |
800 MHz |
| DDR 333 |
800 or 533 MHz | |
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.
The following table lists the supported DIMM configurations.
