Dual Channel Memory Configuration

The GA-8I915MD-G/GA-8I915MD-GV supports the Dual Channel Technology.

will add double.

The GA-8I915MD-G/GA-8I915MD-GV includes 2 DIMM sockets.

If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due to the limitation of Intel chipset specifications.

2.To enable Dual Channel mode, please insert two DDR II memory modules (it is recom- mended to use memory modules of identical brand, size, chips, and speed) into DDRII1 and DDRII memory sockets.
