Tested Memory

Memory testing has been performed under the following categories:

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
Caution: Before installing or removing memory, disconnect AC power by unplugging the power cord from the computer. Failure to do so could damage the memory and the board.

Note: To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel® SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. If your memory module does not support SPD, you will see a notification to this effect on the screen at power-up. The BIOS will attempt to configure the memory controller for normal operation; however, DIMMs may not function at the determined frequency.

Note: Because the main system memory is also used as video memory, the board requires 66 MHz or 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.

The board has two DIMM sockets. SDRAM can be installed in one or both sockets. Minimum total system memory size is 64 MB; maximum total system memory size is 512 MB. The BIOS automatically detects memory type, size, and speed. Due to the video requirements of the Intel® Desktop Board D810E2CA3, most configurations require at least 64 MB of memory.

The board supports memory with the following features:
  • 3.3V, 168-pin DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
  • 66 MHz and 100 MHz SDRAM
  • Non-ECC (64-bit) memory. ECC (72-bit) memory will operate in non-ECC mode.
  • Serial Presence Detect (SPD) or non-SPD memory (BIOS recovery requires SPD DIMMs)
  • 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: A 256 MB DIMM used with this board must be built with 128 Mbit device technology.
