You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered ECC or
non-ECC DDR2-533/667 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules
from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualified Vendors List at
the ASUS web site.
When installing one or two DIMMs, install the DIMM(s) to the blue
slots (DIMM_A2/DIMM_B2).
Three DDR DIMMs intalled into any three memory sockets will
function in single-channel mode.
