Intel® Desktop Board D845GVAD2
System memory

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.

System Memory Features

The D845GVAD2 board provide 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
  • DDR266/200 MHz SDRAM DIMMs only
  • Serial Presence Detect (SPD)
  • Suspend to RAM
Caution Do not use ECC DIMMs with this board. Using ECC DIMMs could damage the board.

Integrator's Notes:

  • Registered DIMMs are not supported on the Desktop Board.
  • Double-sided x16 DIMMs are not supported.
  • Remove the AGP video card before installing or upgrading memory to avoid interference with the memory retention mechanism.
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.
