The Asus A7A motherboard is unique because it supports two different types of memory: DDR and SDR. This greatly increases compatibility with memory modules, but it complicates installation for the user. A mistake during installation could cause hundreds of dollars worth of damage, because memory and motherboards are so expensive. You need to understand properly install SDR RAM in the Asus A7A motherboard to avoid this risk.
