That motherboard supports a maximum of 4096 MB(4 GB) of RAM.

It has 4 slots, so you can install a maximum of 1024 MB(1 GB) in each slot.

It uses DDR PC2700 or DDR PC3200 modules.

Here are the specs for both modules:

Stick with DDR PC3200 modules and don't mix DDR PC3200 and DDR PC2700 modules.

If you do, they'll all run at the slower DDR PC2700 speed.
