Mainboard User’s Manual

1.8. Memory Installation

Note: The Intel®815E/815EP chipset family used in this main-board

supports up totwo double-sided or three single-sided DIMMs when the

SDRAM interface is operating at 133 MHz.

Installing DIMM modules that exceed these specifications requires

that the BIOS down-shifts the SDRAM clocks to 100 MHz through a

two-wire interface of the system clock generator.

168-Pin DIMM SDRAM Memory Configuration

Bank 0 (DIMM1) 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 MB

Bank 1 (DIMM2) 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 MB

Total 8 MB to 512 MB

This concludes Chapter 1. Chapter 2 covers the mainboard’s

specifications and features.
