Intel® Desktop Board D845GEBV2

Tested memory

Memory testing has been performed under the following category:

Advanced Tested Memory*
Intel provides the Advanced environmental test procedures, test software and necessary hardware to an independent test lab to perform Advanced testing as requested by the memory vendors.
Memory tested by Computer Memory Test Labs (CMTL).

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 D845GEBV2 has two DIMM sockets and support the following memory features:

2.5 V (only) 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
Unbuffered, unregistered single-sided or double-sided DIMMs
Maximum total system memory: 2 GB; minimum total system memory: 64 MB
DDR333/266 MHz DDR SDRAM DIMMs only
Serial Presence Detect (SPD)
Suspend to RAM

Caution

Do not use ECC DIMMs with these Desktop Boards. Using ECC DIMMs could damage the Desktop Board.

Integrator's Notes:

Registered DIMMs are not supported.
Double-sided x16 DIMMs are not supported.
Remove the AGP video card before installing or upgrading memory to avoid interference with the memory retention mechanibodycopy.
The Desktop Board has been designed to support DIMMs based on 512 Mbit technology for a maximum onboard capacity of up to 2 GB, but this technology has not been validated (currently validated up to 1.0 GB) on this board. Please refer to the latest lists of tested memory.

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 allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance.

The following table lists the supported DDR DIMM configurations.

DIMM Capacity	Configuration (Note 1)	DDR SDRAM Density	DDR SDRAM Organization Front-side/Back-side	Number of DDR SDRAM Devices
32 MB	SS	64 Mbit	4 M x 16/empty	4
64 MB	SS	64 Mbit	8 M x 8/empty	8
64 MB	SS	128 Mbit	8 M x 16/empty	4
128 MB	DS	64 Mbit	8 M x 8/8 M x 8	16
128 MB	SS	128 Mbit	16 M x 8/empty	8
128 MB	SS	256 Mbit	16 M x 16/empty	4
256 MB	DS	128 Mbit	16 M x 8/16 M x 8	16
256 MB	SS	256 Mbit	32 M x 8/empty	8
256 MB	SS	512 Mbit	32 M x 16/empty	4
512 MB	DS	256 Mbit	32 M x 8/32 M x 8	16
512 MB	SS	512 Mbit	64 M x 8	8
1024 MB (Note 1)	DS	512 Mbit	64 M x 8/64 M x 8	16

Notes

In this column, “DS“ refers to double-sided memory modules (containing DDR SDRAM devices on both sides) and “SS“ refers to single-sided memory modules (containing DDR SDRAM devices on only one side).
2. DDR333 1 GB (1024 MB) DIMMs have not been validated with these desktop boards.
