Memory
DIMM1~4(from left to right)
The mainboard provides 4 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM (Double In-Line MemoryModule) modules and supports the memory size up to 4GB. You can install DDR266/333/400 modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~4).For the updated supporting memory modules, please visit http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_trp_list.php.
DIMM Module CombinationInstall at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports up to a maximumsize of 1GB. Users can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet theirown needs. Please note that each D IMM can wo rk r e spec t i v e l y f o r s i n g l e -chann el DDR, but there are som e ru les whi le usin g dual-channel DDR(Pleaserefer to the suggested DDR population table below). Users may install memory modulesof different type and density on different-channel DDR DIMMs. However, the
sametype and dens i t y memory m odu lesare necessary while using dual-channel DDR,or instability may happen. Please refer to the following table for detailed dual-channelDDR. Other combination not listed below will function as single-channel DDR.
Introduction to DDR SDRAMDDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM, but doubles therate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as opposed to 3.3 voltsused in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-pin DIMM
modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solutionfor high performance PC, workstations and servers.

Installing DDR Modules1. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The module will
only fit in the right orientation.2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in
until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the socket.3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
DIMM Module CombinationInstall at least one DIMM module on the slots. You can install either single- or double-
sided modules in any order to meet your own needs.
Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:

Important Notification about Power IssueNForce chipset is very sensitive to ESD (Electrostatic Discharge), therefore thisissue mostly happens while the users intensively swap memory modules under S5(power-off) states, and the power code is plugged while installing modules. Due toseveral pins are very sensitive to ESD, so this kind of memory-replacement actionsmight cause system chipset unable to boot. Please follow the following solution toavoid this situation.
Unplug the AC power cable (shown in figure 1) or unplug the ATX1 & JPW1 powerconnectors (shown in figure 2 & figure 3) before the 1st installation or during sys-tem upgrade procedure.

Dynamic Overclocking
Dynamic Overclocking Technology is the automatic overclocking function, included inthe MSITMs newly developed CoreCellTM Technology. It is designed to detect the loadbalance of CPU while running programs, and to adjust the best CPU frequencyautomatically. When the motherboard detects CPU is running programs, it will speed upCPU automatically to make the program run smoothly and faster. When the CPU istemporarily suspending or staying in the low load balance, it will restore the defaultsettings instead. Usually the Dynamic Overclocking Technology will be powered onlywhen users' PC need to run huge amount of data like 3D games or the video process,and the CPU frequency need to be boosted up to enhance the overall performance.Setting options:
[Disabled] Disable Dynamic Overclocking function.[Private] 1st level of overclocking, increasing the CPU frequency by 1%.[Sergeant] 2nd level of overclocking, increasing the CPU frequency by 3%.[Captain] 3rd level of overclocking, also the default value of "Load High
Performance Defaults", increasing the CPU frequency by 5%.[Colonel] 4th level of overclocking, increasing the CPU frequency by 7%.[General] 5th level of overclocking, increasing the CPU frequency by 9%.[Commander] 6th level of overclocking, increasing the CPU frequency by 11%.
MSI Reminds You...Even though the Dynamic Overclocking Technology is more stablethan manual overclocking, basically, it is still risky. We suggest userto make sure that your CPU can afford to overclocking regularly first. Ifyou find the PC appears to be unstable or reboot incidentally, it's betterto disable the Dynamic Overclocking or to lower the level of overclockingoptions. By the way, if you need to conduct overclocking manually, youalso need to disable the D.O.T Rang erfirst.
Adjust CPU FSB FrequencyThis item allows you to select the CPU Front Side Bus clock frequency (in MHz). Select

The SSE extensions consistof a new set of instructions and a new set of registers. These instructions andregisters are designed to allow Single-Instruction Multiple-Data (SIMD) computations tobe made on single-precision floating-point numbers.The Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) were introduced in the Pentium 4 and IntelXeon processors. They consist of a new set of instructions that operate on the XXMand MXCSR registers and perform SIMD operations on double-precision floating-point
values and on integer values.Several of these new SSE/SSE2 instructions also oper-ate in the MMX registers. Setting options: [Enabled], [Disabled].
