Intel® Desktop Board CA810E
Tested Memory

Tested Memory
Memory testing has been performed under the following categories:

Basic Self Tested Memory
Intel provides the Basic test procedures and test software to memory manufacturers to perform testing on their own products. These products are then listed on the manufacturer's own website. Use the Basic Self Tested Memory links to visit their sites to obtain information on their products.

Intel Internal Tested Memory
Intel's has a limited amount of memory tested for the desktop board. These part numbers may not be readily available throughout the product life cycle.

System Memory Features
The desktop board has two, dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets.
Minimum memory size is 32 MB; maximum memory size is 512 MB. The BIOS automatically detects memory type, size, and speed. Due to the video requirements of the Intel® Desktop Board CA810E, most configurations require at least 64 MB of memory.

The desktop board supports the following memory features:
  • 168-pin DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
  • 100 MHz unbuffered SDRAM
  • Non-ECC (64-bit)
  • 3.3 V memory only
  • 100 MHz memory may be either Serial Presence Detect (SPD) or non-SPD memory (see caution below about using non-SPD memory)
  • Unbuffered Single- or double-sided DIMMs in the following sizes:
DIMM Size Non-ECC Configuration
16 MB 2 Mbit x 64
32 MB 4 Mbit x 64
64 MB 8 Mbit x 64
128 MB 16 Mbit x 64
256 MB 32 Mbit x 64

Note: 256 MB DIMMs used with this board must be built with 128 Mbit device technology.

Caution: Because the main system memory is also used as video memory, the Intel Desktop Board CA810E require 100 MHz SDRAM DIMMs. It is highly recommended that SPD DIMMs be used, since this allows 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.

All memory components and DIMMs used with the Intel Desktop Board CA810E must comply with the PC SDRAM Unbuffered DIMM Specification. You can access this document through the Internet at: http://www.intel.com/technology/memory/index.htm
