Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations
may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of
the recommended configurations on the next page.
Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR DIMM pairs for
each channel.
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules
from the same vendor.
Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard does not support DIMM
modules with less than or equal to 128 Mb memory chips.
If you are installing only one DIMM module for a Single-channel
configuration, install the module on DIMM_A1 (blue slot).
