Installing DIMMs 
Before installing DIMMs, read and follow these guidelines for dual channel configuration. 
 
NOTE 
Performance Acceleration Technology (PAT) requires a processor with 800 MHz FSB frequency 
and DDR400 memory. 
Install a matched pair of DIMMs equal in speed, size, and technology (see Figure 8) in DIMM 0 in 
both channels A and B.  
 
Channel A
 
256 MB, 128 Mb, DDR400 
DIMM 0 
 
DIMM 1 
Channel B 
256 MB, 128 Mb, DDR400 
DIMM 0 
 
DIMM 1 
Figure 8.  Dual Configuration Example with Two DIMMs 
If additional memory is to be used, then install another matched pair of DIMMs in DIMM 1 in 
both channels A and B (see Figure 9)
 
Channel A 
256 MB, 128 Mb, DDR400 
DIMM 0 
512 MB, 256 Mb, DDR400 
DIMM 1 
Channel B
