ASUS M4N78 SE

1-15

SS - Single-sided / DS - Double - sided 

DIMM support:

 

•  A*:

 Supports one module inserted into any slot as Single-channel memory  

 

  configuration.

 

•  B*:

 Supports one pair of modules inserted into the yellow slots as one pair of  

  Dual-channel memory configuration.

Visit the ASUS website for the latest DDR2-667/800/1066MHz QVL.

DDR2-1066MHz capability

•   The default DIMM frequency depends on its Serial  Presence Detect (SPD), which is the 

standard way of accessing information from a memory module. Under the default state, 

some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a lower frequency than the 

vendor-marked value. 

•  The memory modules may require a better cooling system to work stably under full 

loading (2 DIMMs) or overclocking setting.
