Motherboard Description SY-K7VTA PRO 1-7 MEMORY 1-7.1 Main Memory The motherboard has three DIMM sockets. SDRAM can be installed in one, two, or three sockets. Using the serial presence detect (SPD) data structure, programmed into an E²PROM on the DIMM, the BIOS can determine the SDRAM’s size and speed. Minimum DIMM memory size is 8 MB; maximum DIMM memory size is 256/512 MB. Memory size and speed can vary between sockets. The motherboard supports the following memory features: DRAM
