(Note 1) 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 2) To use a DDRII 667 memory module on the motherboard, you must install an 800/1066MHz FSB processor . [. . . ] The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS SRAM.
