Memory
These DIMM slots are used for installing memory modules.For more information on compatible components, please visit http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=testreport
DDR2240-pin, 1.8V
64x2=128 pin56x2=112 pin
Installing Memory Modules1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right
orientation.2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the
golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot. The plasticclip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory moduleis properly seated.
3. Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM slotclips at the sides.
Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly insertedin the DIMM slot.

Important
- DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDR2standard is not backwards compatible. You should always instal l DDR2memory modules in the DDR2 DIMM slots.
- To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modulesinto the DIMM1 first.
- Due to the chipset specification, the mainboard will only supports to install onedouble-side (2GB max) memory module, or to install two single-side memorymodules (1GB max per DIMM).

1. The items under each BIOS category described in this chapter are undercontinuous update for better system performance. Therefore, the descrip-tion may be slightly different from the latest BIOS and should be held forreference only.
2. Upon boot-up, the 1st line appearing after the memory count is the BIOSversion. It is usually in the format:
A7314IMS V1.0 042308 where:
1st digit refers to BIOS maker as A = AMI, W = AWARD, and P =PHOENIX.2nd - 5th digit refers to the model number.6th digit refers to the chipset as I = Intel, N = nVidia, and V = VIA.7th - 8th digit refers to the customer as MS = all standard customers.V1.0 refers to the BIOS version.042308 refers to the date this BIOS was released.
Power on the computer and the system will start POST (Power On Self Test) process.When the message below appears on the screen, press <DEL> key to enter Setup.

CAS# Latency (CL)When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], the field isadjustable. This controls the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (inclock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it.
tRCDWhen the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], the field isadjustable. When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressedseparately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transitionfrom RAS (row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The less theclock cycles, the faster the DRAM performance.
tRPWhen the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], this field isadjustable. This setting controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe(RAS) to be allowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS toaccumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete andDRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM isinstalled in the system.
tRASWhen the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], this field isadjustable. This setting determines the time RAS takes to read from and write tomemory cell.
FSB/DRAM RatioThis item will allow you to adjust the ratio of FSB to memory.
Auto Disable DRAM/PCI FrequencyWhen set to [Enabled], the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM andPCI slots to minimize the electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Spread SpectrumWhen the mainboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of thepulses create EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum functionreduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulsesare reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting atDisabled for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI,set to Enabled for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you areoverclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clockspeed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.
