System Memory Features The board has one 240-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) connector and supports the following memory features:
- 1.8 V (only) DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
- Unbuffered, non-registered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.
- 1 GB maximum total system memory
- 256Mbit, 512 Mbit or 1 Gbit technology
- Minimum total system memory: 128 MB
- Non-ECC DIMMs
- Serial Presence Detect
- DDR2 533 or DDR2 400 SDRAM DIMMs
Note To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This enables the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the determined frequency.

Notes 1. In the second column, "DS" refers to double-sided memory modules (containing two rows of SDRAM) and "SS" refers to single-sided memory modules (containing one row of SDRAM).
Regardless of the DIMM type used, the memory frequency will either be equal to or less than the processor system bus frequency. For example, if DDR2 533 memory is used with a 400 MHz system bus frequency processor, the memory will operate at 400 MHz.
Tested Memory
Vendor Self Tested Memory Intel supplies the memory vendors that participate in this program with a common memory test plan to use as a basic checkout of the memory stability. Memory listed here was either tested by the memory vendor or by Intel using this test plan. These part numbers may not be readily available throughout the product life cycle.
The table below lists parts which passed testing conducted using Intel's Self Test program for Intel® Desktop Board D201GLY and D201GLY2. For a complete explanation of the self test, see the Desktop Board Component Functional Testing Levels page.
