2.4 System memory

2.4.1 Overview

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate II (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory

Modules (DIMM) sockets to support 240-pin DDR2 modules.

The gure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:

DIMM_A1

DIMM_B2

DIMM_B1

Channel Sockets

Channel A DIMM_A1 and DIMM_A2

Channel B DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2

This chipset ofcially supports DDR2 800/667MHz. With the ASUS Super

Memspeed Technology, the motherboard natively supports up to DDR2

1066MHz and provides more ratio setting items than the chipset ofcially

supports. Refer to the table below for details.

FSB 1333 1066

2-11ASUS TW300-E5/PI4

64-bit

Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition

Windows® Vista x64 Edition

• Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to

8 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a maximum of

2 GB DIMMs on each slot.

• Some old-version DDR2-800 DIMMs may not match Intel

®’s

On-Die-Termination (ODT) requirement and will automatically downgrade

to run at DDR2-667. If this happens, contact your memory vendor to check

the ODT value.

• Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-800 with CL=4 will be downgraded to run

at DDR2-667 by default setting. If you want to operate with lower latency,

adjust the memory timing manually.

2.4.2 Memorycongurations

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB ECC and non-ECC, unbuffered

DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The

system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel

conguration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then

mapped for single-channel operation.

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum

compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the

same vendor.

• If you install four 1GB memory modules, the system may only recognize

less than 3GB of total memory because of address space allocation for

other critical functions. This limitation appears on Windows

® Vista 32-bit /

Windows® XP 32-bit operation systems since it does not support Physical

Address Extension (PAE) mode.

• If you install Windows® Vista 32-bit / Windows

® XP 32-bit operation system,

a total memory of less than 3GB is recommended.

• This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb

chips or double sided x16 memory modules.

Chapter 2: Hardware setup2-12

2.4.3 Installing a DIMM

To install a DIMM:

1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing

the retaining clips outward.

2. Align a DIMM on the socket

such that the notch on the DIMM

matches the break on the socket.

3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the

socket until the retaining clips snap

back in place and the DIMM is

properly seated.

2.4.4 Removing a DIMM

To remove a DIMM:

1. Simultaneously press the retaining

clips outward to unlock the DIMM.

2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.

• A DDR2 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it ts in only one direction. Do

not force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.

• The DDR2 DIMM sockets do not support DDR DIMMs. DO not install DDR

DIMMs to the DDR2 DIMM sockets.

Unlocked retaining clip
