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.
