* Refer to
www.asus.com or user manual for the Memory
QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists).
* Due to OS limitation, when installing total
memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows® 32-bit
operation system may only recognize less than
3GB. Install a 64-bit Windows® OS when you want
to install 4GB or more memory on the
motherboard.
* Due to CPU spec., AMD 100 series CPUs support
up to DDR3 1066MHz. With ASUS design, this
motherboard can support up to DDR3 1333MHz. |
