It really depends on the memory configuration, but it is likely that the 
compensation capacitor for address/command signals will be required for heavily 
loaded DDRII systems. Micron has a good description of this approach in their 
DDRII app notes, but it basically involves replacing the series stub resistor 
on the address bus with a capacitor to ground. With multiple unbuffered DIMMs 
at high DDRII speeds this approach will help open the eye for meeting setup and 
hold. You will need to simulate your specific configuration to know for sure if 
it will help and what component values to use.
