Main Memory

NOTE

To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel® SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. If your memory modules do not support SPD, you will see a notification to this effect on the screen at power up. The BIOS will attempt to configure the memory controller for normal operation.

The Desktop Board supports the following memory features:

•Four 240-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) connectors with gold-plated contacts arranged in three channels

•1333/1066/800 MHz DDR3 SDRAM interface

•Support for single-, dual-, and triple-channel memory interleaving

•Unbuffered, non-registered single or double-sided DIMMs with a voltage rating of less than 1.6 V.

NOTE

Using a DIMM with a voltage rating higher than 1.6 V may damage the processor.

•Non-ECC DDR3 memory

•Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory only

•Up to 16 GB maximum total system memory

NOTE

32-bit operating systems are limited to a maximum of 4 GB of memory. The operating system report less than 4 GB because of the memory used by add-in graphics cards.
