Hardware Setup

Memory

DIMM Module Combination

Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports up to a

maximum size of 1GB. Users can install either single- or double-sided modules to

meet their own needs. Users may install memory modules of different type and

density on different-channel DDR DIMMs. However, memory modules of the same

type and density are required while using dual-channel DDR, or instability may

happen.

The mainboard provides 4 slots for 184-pin DDR DIMM (Double In-Line Memory

Module) modules and supports the memory size up to 4GB. You can install DDR 333/

400 modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DIMM 1~4).

MSI Reminds You...

- The system operates ONLY when the DDR modules are installed in

accordance with the above-mentioned memory population rules.

- In dual-channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules

of the same type and density on DDR DIMMs.

- To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory

modules into the Channel A slots (DIMM1 or DIMM3) first.

- This mainboard DO NOT support the memory module installed

with more than 18 pieces of IC (integrated circuit).

- Do not support three memory modules.
