Hardware Installation
The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the
memory channels.
Virtual Single Channel (VSC)
If both channels are populated with different memory configura-
tions, the MCH defaults to Virtual Single Channel.
Dual Channel (DC)
Dual channel provides better system performance because it
doubles the data transfer rate.

submenu of the BIOS must be set accordingly.

completely different.
Not all slots need to be populated.

tions are on different channels.
