• About Testing Levels

System Memory Combinations
The motherboard has three, dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. Minimum memory size is 8 MB; maximum memory size is 384 MB. The BIOS automatically detects memory type, size, and speed.

The motherboard supports the following memory features:

• 168-pin DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
• 66 MHz SDRAM only
• Non-ECC (64-bit) and ECC (72-bit) memory
• 3.3 V memory only
• Single- or double-sided DIMMs in the following sizes:

Memory can be installed in one, two, or three sockets. Memory size and speed can vary between sockets.

DIMM Vendors - Web Sites
The list below contains vendors that have tested their memory for Intel® AL440LX Motherboards, and that have their products listed on their own website. Please visit their sites to obtain information on their products.

Note: To function properly, SDRAM DIMMs must meet the Intel 4-clock, 66 MHz, unbuffered SDRAM specification for either 64-bit or 72-bit SDRAM. See the Technical Product Specification about these specifications.

The following tables list DIMMs that have been tested. DIMMs that are not listed should also function properly as long as their specifications are compatible with the devices listed below. In general, DIMM devices that are faster than those specified for a given platform will work, although no extra performance will be realized.

The following table describes the effect of using Setup to put each memory type in each supported mode. Whenever ECC mode is selected in Setup, some performance loss occurs.
