must to be installed first.
Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less
y
than the amount of installed.
Based on Intel CPU specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is
y
suggested to protect the CPU.
Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less
y
for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we
recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than
4GB memory on the motherboard.
Some memory may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value when
