Themainboardprovides2slotsfor240-pin DDRIIDIMM,whichsupportsthe

theDDRIIstandardisnotbackwardcompatible,youshouldalwaysinstallDDRII

IntroductiontoDDRII SDRAM
DDRIIisanewtechnologyof memorymodule,anditsspeed isthe toplimit of
currentDDR1technology.DDRII usesa1.8Vsupplyforcoreand I/Ovoltage,com-
paredto2.5VforDDR1,andrequires28%lesspowerthanDDR1chips.DDRIItruly
isthe futureof memory,butwillrequiresomechangesasthetechnologyisnot
backwardlycompatibleand onlymotherboardsspecificallydesigned forDDRIImemory
willbeabletosupportthesechips.
DDRIIincorporatesnewfeaturesatthe chiplevel that giveitbettersignal
integrity,therebyenabling higherclockspeeds.
DDRII moduleshave240 pins,versus184 pinsonaDDR1module,and the
lengthofDDRIImodule is5.25”.DDRIImoduleshavesmallerandtighterspaced pins.
The heightofDDRIImodulesvaries,buttheywill typicallybelessthan1.3”in height.
