Dual Channel
VT x800 series support the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the dual channel
technology, the bandwidth of memory bus will add double up to 4GB/s.
The mainboard includes 4 DIMM slots, and each channel has two DIMM sockets as following:
T
Channel A : DDR1, DDR3
T
Channel B : DDR2, DDR4
If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due to
the limitation of Intel chipset specifications.
NOTE:
We strongly recommend user to slot two DDR memory modules into the DIMMs with the same color in
order for Dual Channel Technology to work.
The following tables include all memory-installed combination types:
Memory Number
Description
1
Only one DDR memory module is
installed?
The Dual Channel Technology can’t operate when only
one DDR memory module is installed.
2
Two DDR memory modules are
installed (the same memory size
and type)?
The Dual Channel Technology will operate when two
memory modules are inserted individually into Channel A
and B. If you install two memory modules in the same
channel, the Dual Channel Technology will not operate.
3
Three DDR memory modules are
installed?
Pleae note that the Dual Channel Technology will not
operate when three DDR memory modules are installed;
part of them will not be detected.
4
Four DDR memory modules are
installed?
If you install four memory modules at the same time, the
Dual Channel Technology will operate only when those
modules have the same size and type.
