Dual-Channel Memory Configuration
For optimum memory performance, you can use dual-channel memory
configurations. In these configurations, identical memory is installed in
channels A and B. Figures 2-12, 2-13, and 2-14 show allowed
configurations for dual-channel memory mode.
Table 2-6 shows all possible memory module combinations.
Installing memory with different speeds is allowed, but the faster memory
downshifts to the speed of the slower memory.
