· If you installed four 1 GB memory modules, the system may detect less than 3 GB of total memory because of address space allocation for other critical functions. This limitation applies to Windows® XP 3-bit version operating system since it does not support Physical Address Extension(PAE) Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the recommended configurations in Table 1. In dualchannel configurations, install only identical (the same type and size) DDR DIMM pairs for each channel. Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatability, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. DIMMs installed into any three sockets will function in single-channel mode.
