2. System Memory (DRAM/SDRAM & SRAM)

This motherboard supports four 72-pin SIMMs (Single Inline Memory
Modules) of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB to form a memory size
between 8MB to 256MB. The DRAM can be either 60ns or 70ns Fast Page
Mode (Asymmetric or Symmetric), Extended Data Output (EDO), or Burst
Extended Data Output (BEDO). SIMMs must be installed in pairs so that
each bank contains two of the same size memory modules. To support
ECC, you must use true (opposed to phantom parity generated by TTL chips)
36-bit parity-type SIMM (e.g. 8 chips + 4 parity chips) in pairs for all
modules. Mixing 32-bit non-parity SIMM (e.g. 8 chips) and 36-bit SIMM
(e.g. 12 chips) will work minus the ECC feature.

Install memory in any or all of the banks in any combination as follows:

IMPORTANT: Each bank must have the same size and type (FPM,
EDO, BEDO) of memory installed in pairs. Memory setup is required
in BIOS Chipset Setup "Auto Configuration" on page 34.
