Important Notes
System Memory Combinations
The motherboard has four dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. Minimum memory size is 16 MB; maximum memory size is 512 MB. The BIOS automatically detects memory type, size, and speed.
The motherboard supports the following memory features:
- JEDEC MO-161 compliant 168-pin DIMMs with gold-plated contacts.
- Unbuffered 66-MHz ECC/non-ECC SDRAM or 60-ns EDO ECC/non-ECC DIMMs
- 3.3 V memory only
- Single- or double-sided DIMMs in the sizes listed in the following table.
| DIMM Size |
Configuration |
| 16 MB |
2M x 72/64 |
| 32 MB |
4M x 72/64 |
| 64 MB |
8M x 72/64 |
| 128 MB |
16M x 72/64 |
Memory can be installed in one, two, three or four sockets. Memory type, size, and speed can vary between sockets, so EDO and SDRAM DIMMs can be installed on the same motherboard.
Note: There may be mechanical interference with the DIMM 0 socket (J6G3) and the DIMM 1 (J6G2) socket in some combinations of ATX chassis and peripherals, such as CD-ROMs.
Note: The Intel® DK440LX Motherboard supports DIMMs with both asymmetrically and symmetrically addressable DRAMs.
DIMM Vendors - Web Sites
The list below contains vendors that have tested their memory for Intel DK440LX Motherboards, and that have their products listed on their own Web site. Please visit their sites to obtain information on their products.

DIMM Vendors - SDRAM Non-ECC DIMMs
Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) improves memory performance through memory access that is synchronous with the memory clock. This simplifies the timing design and increases memory speed because all timing is dependent on the number of memory clock cycles.
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.

DIMM Vendors - SDRAM ECC DIMMs
Error checking and correcting (ECC) memory detects multiple-bit errors and corrects single-bit errors. When ECC memory is installed, the BIOS supports both ECC and non-ECC mode. ECC mode is enabled in the Setup program. The BIOS automatically detects if ECC memory is installed and provides the Setup option for selecting ECC mode.
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.
