Due to chipset (Intel 875P/865G/865PE) architecture limitation, a FSB 800 Pentium 4 processor

will support DDR400/DDR333/DDR266 memory module. A FSB 533 Pentium 4 processor will

support DDR333 and DDR266 memory module. A FSB 400 Pentium 4 processor will only support

DDR 266 memory module.

(Note 1) An FSB800 CPU can be supported through overclocking in BIOS.

(Note 2) Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage and

therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount. For example, 4 GB of memory

size will instead be shown as 3.xxGB memory during system startup.

(Note 3) When FSB800 is selected as CPU frequency, memory will automatically adjust to DDR400.
