# What memory configurations are supported on the Intel Desktop Boards D815EEA2 and D815EPEA2?
Desktop Boards D815EEA2 and D815EPEA2 have slots for three 168-pin unbuffered Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs) and can support a minimum system memory configuration of 64 MB and a maximum configuration of 512 MB of PC-133 SDRAM. Desktop Boards D815EEA2 and D815EPEA2 support DIMM sizes of 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, and128 MB using 64-Mbit device technology and 256 MB using 128-Mbit device technology.
# What kind of problems might occur in an SDRAM-based system that uses non-compliant DIMMs?
The most extreme example is memory failure, when the system hangs while booting. This can happen when the system is unable to communicate properly with the memory. In less extreme cases, the memory may generate intermittent errors or fail during stress.
# What is PC-133 and when can it be used?
PC-133 is a specification for SDRAM that is similar to PC-100 except the memory is capable of running at 133 MHz rather than 100 MHz. It will provide higher performance when using a processor with a 133-MHz system bus. If PC-133 SDRAM memory is integrated in a system featuring a processor running at 100-MHz system bus the memory will only operate at 100 MHz.
Note: For 133 MHz operation only four sides of memory can be used. For example up to two double-sided DIMMs, or one double-sided DIMM and two single sided DIMMs may be used. If more than four sides are used the memory will only run at 100 MHz.
