DDR3/DDR2 Dual Channel Memory Configuration:
Due to chipset limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3/DDR2 memory module is installed.
2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, it is recommended that memory of
the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
1-4 Installing the Memory
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:
•
Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the
same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)
• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing
the memory to prevent hardware damage.
•
Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direc-
tion. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.
1-4-1 Dual Channel Memory Configuration
This motherboard provides two DDR2 and two DDR3 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technol-
ogy. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the
memory. Enabling Dual Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
The two DDR3 memory sockets (DDR3_1, DDR3_2) are divided into two channels and each channel has one
memory socket as following:
Channel 0: DDR3_1
Channel 1: DDR3_2
The two DDR2 memory sockets (DDR2_1, DDR2_2) are divided into two channels and each channel has one
memory socket as following:
Channel 0: DDR2_1
Channel 1: DDR2_2
DDR2_1
DDR2_2
