Important Notes
System Memory Combinations
The motherboard has two, dual in-line memory module (DIMM) sockets. Minimum memory size is 16 MB; maximum memory size is 256 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 or 100 MHz SDRAM
- Non-ECC (64-bit) memory
- 3.3 V memory only
- Unbuffered Single- or double-sided DIMMs in the following sizes:
| DIMM Size |
Non-ECC Configuration |
| 16 MB |
2M x 64 |
| 32 MB |
4M x 64 |
| 64 MB |
8M x 64 |
| 128 MB |
16M x 64 | |
Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) can be installed in either or both sockets. EDO DIMMs are not supported. Memory size and speed can vary between sockets.
NOTE: Pentium II processors with 100 MHz front-side bus should be paired only with 100 MHz SDRAM. Processors with 66 MHz front-side bus can be paired with either 66 MHz or 100 MHz SDRAM.
All memory components and DIMMs used with the Intel® BI440ZX Motherboard should comply with the PC SDRAM specifications. These include: the PC SDRAM Specification (memory component specific), the PC Unbuffered DIMM Specification, and the PC Serial Presence Detect Specification.
NOTE: It is recommended that SPD memory DIMMs be used with the Intel BI440ZX Motherboard. However, the BIOS will allow the use of non-SPD DIMM memory.
DIMM Vendors - Web Sites
The list below contains vendors that have tested their memory for AL440LX motherboards, and that have their products listed on their own website. Please visit their sites to obtain information on their products.
Note: The following links will take you off of the Intel Web site. Intel does not control the content of these linked Web sites
DIMM Vendors - SDRAM Non-ECC DIMMs
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.
