RAM
Choosing the correct type of memory for an ASUS motherboard is important to system stability and performance. Older models cannot run the latest double data rate (DDR) memory, and errors will occur if the clock rates of motherboard and memory are out of sync. While the number of pins and the clock rate of memory are critical, selection of new memory should begin with a decision between DDR1, DDR2 or DDR3.
DDR1
The following ASUS motherboard series use DDR1 memory: A7N8X, A7S8X, A7V266, A7V400, A7V600, A7V880, A7V8X, A8N, A8N32, A8N5X, A8R, A8R32, A8S, A8V, CROSSHAIR, K8N, K8N4, K8S, K8U, K8V, P4B533, P4BP, P4C800, P4GD1, P4GE, P4GPL, P4P800, P4P8X, P4PE, P4R800, P4RD1, P4S800, P4RD1, P4S800, P4S800D, P4S8X, P4SP, P4V533, P4V800, P4V8X, P4VP, P5AD2, P5GD1, P5GDC, P5GL, P5GV, P5P800, P5PE, P5RD1, P5S800, P5VD1, SK8N and SK8V.
