Dual Channel DDR GA-8I915ME-GV/GA-8I915ME-GL/GA-8I915ME-C/GA-8I915ME-G supports the Dual Channel

Technology. After operating the Dual Channel Technology, the bandwidth of Memory Bus will add double.

GA-8I915ME-GV/GA-8I915ME-GL/GA-8I915ME-C/GA-8I915ME-G includes 2 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two DIMM sockets as following:

Channel A : DIMM1

Channel B : DIMM2

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

1. If one DDR memory modules are installed: The Dual Channel Technolog cannot operate when one DDR memory modules are installed.

2. If two DDR memory modules are installed, please use memory of the same storage capacity in order to use dual channel memory and for BIOS to detect all the DDR memory modules.

We'll strongly recommend our user to slot two DDR memory modules into the DIMMs with the same color in order for Dual Channel Technology to work.
