The PA-2011, which appears to be an ATX version of the 2007, in the
manual, says:

	It is recommended that SIMMs and DIIMs are not installed at
	the same time on this mainboard to avoid unexpected failure.

	DIM2 and SIMM 1&2 are shared.  That is, it is not allowed to install
	RAM modules on DIM 2 and SIMM 1&2 at the same time.

There's a nice table on ram configs.  Some of FIC's manuals are available
on their web site:
