Intel® Desktop Board D845GLVA
System 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 D845GLVA board provide the following memory features:

  • 2.5 V (only) 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
  • Unbuffered single-sided or double-sided DIMMs
  • Maximum total system memory: 2 GB; minimum total system memory: 64 MB
  • DDR266/200 MHz SDRAM DIMMs only
  • Serial Presence Detect (SPD)
Caution Do not use ECC DIMMs with this board. Using ECC DIMMs could damage the board.

Integrator's Notes:

  • Registered DIMMs are not supported.
  • Double-sided x16 DIMMs are not supported.
  • If a full-length PCI add-in card is installed in PCI bus connector 1 (the PCI bus connector closest to the processor), remove the add-in card before installing or upgrading memory to avoid interference with the memory retention mechanism.
  • This 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.

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 DDR SDRAM Density DDR SDRAM Organization Front-side/Back-side Number of DDR SDRAM Devices

512 MB SS 512 Mbit 64 M x 8/empty 8
1024 MB DS 512 Mbit 64 M x 8/64 M x 8 16
Note 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).
