Exercise 6.3 Configuring Memory on Paper

Objective:
To be able to determine the correct amount and type of memory to install on a
motherboard
Parts:
Internet access or access to magazines or ads that show memory prices
Procedure:
Refer to Figure 6.25 to answer the questions. The motherboard supports the following
memory configurations:
• 1GB, 2GB, 4GB unbuffered and non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs can be used in the DIMM slots (1,
2, 3, and 4) for a total of 32GB max using DDR3 1066/1333MHz modules.
• Recommended memory configurations are modules in DIMMs 1 and 3 or modules in DIMMs
1, 2, 3, and 4.
• Single- and dual-channel modes are supported.
• You may install different sizes in Channel A and B. The dual-channel configuration will be the
total size of the lowest-sized channel. Any excess memory will operate in single-channel
mode.
• >1.65V DIMMs are recommended.
• Use the same CAS latency and obtain from the same vendor, if possible.
• The default memory operation frequency is dependent on SPD.

5. In what type of systems would ECC modules most likely be used? [ student desktop | s
martphones |
tablets | servers | ultrabooks ]
6. What is the purpose of ECC modules?
The purpose of ECC modules is Error Corrections
7. What is the purpose of SPD?
The purpose of SPD is to send information to the BIOS from the memory modules .
