What is the maximum RAM capacity supported by the ABIT AN-M2HD motherboard?

Question

Accepted Answer

The ABIT AN-M2HD motherboard supports a maximum RAM capacity of 8 GB.

Memory specifications:

Memory type: DDR2 (compatible with frequencies of 800, 667, and 533 MHz)
Number of slots: 4 DIMM 240-pin slots
Memory architecture: Dual Channel (2 channels to optimize performance)
Capacity per slot: Up to 2 GB per module
Module type: Non-buffered, ECC or Non-ECC

To reach the maximum capacity of 8 GB, you can install four 2 GB sticks. You also have the option to use two 4 GB sticks if you find DDR2 modules of that capacity (though rare).

Optimal Dual Channel configuration: to benefit from Dual Channel performance, install the memory modules according to one of these two configurations:

2 DIMM: place two identical modules in slots [DIMM1] and [DIMM2], or in slots [DIMM3] and [DIMM4]
4 DIMM: install two pairs of identical modules, one pair in [DIMM1]+[DIMM2] and the other in [DIMM3]+[DIMM4]

Before installing or removing memory modules, turn off the computer and unplug the AC power cord. If you encounter problems after changing the modules, clear the CMOS memory to reset the BIOS settings.
