That information is MB dependant.  Did LGS give you the motherboard
manual?  That information should be there, though sometimes it isn't,
in which case you'll have to do some web research or email/call the MB
manufacturers tech support.

Some of us here might have the same MB.  If you can figure out the
model, let us know.
