775i915P-SATA2 

motherboard provides four 240-pin DDRII (Double Data Rate)

DIMM slots, two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots, and supports Dual

Channel DDR/DDRII Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you

always need to install 

identical

 (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type)

DDR/DDRII DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to

install 

identical

 DDRII DIMM pair in 

Dual Channel A 

(DDRII_1 and DDRII_3;

Yellow slots; see p.10 No.6) or 

identical

 DDRII DIMM pair in 

Dual Channel B

(DDRII_2 and DDRII_4; Orange slots; see p.10 No.7), so that Dual Channel Memory

Technology can be activated. You can also install 

identical

 DDR DIMM pair in

Dual Channel 

(DDR1 and DDR2; Blue slots; see p.10 No.8) so that Dual Channel

Memory Technology can be activated.This motherboard also allows you to in-

stall four DDRII DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please install 

identi-

cal

 DDRII DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel Memory

Configuration Table below.

For the configuration (3), please install 

identical

 DDRII DIMMs in all four DDRII

   slots.

1.

If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility

and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the

same color. In other words, install them either in the set of yellow

slots (DDRII_1 and DDRII_3), in the set of orange slots (DDRII_2

and DDRII_4), or in the set of blue slots (DDR1 and DDR2).

2.

If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed

in the DDR/DDRII DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to

activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

3.

If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual

Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDRII_1

and DDRII_2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory

Technology .

4.

It is not allowed to install DDR into DDRII slot or DDRII into DDR

slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

5.

It is not allowed to install both DDR and DDRII to this motherboard

at the same time; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be

damaged.
