Overview
The motherboard comes with two 240-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) and
two 184-pin DDR Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
DDR2 DIMMS are notched differently to prevent misplacement in DDR DIMM
sockets.
The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets:

To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not use DDR and DDR2
memory simultaneously.
•
Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than
2 GB system memory when you installed two 1 GB DDR2 or DDR
memory modules.
