1.5.1Overview

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.

A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 DIMM but is notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 DIMM socket. DDR3 modules are developed for better performance with less power consumption.

The figure illustrates the location of the DDR3 DIMM sockets:

DIMM A1	DIMM A2	DIMM B1	DIMM B2
			Channel	Sockets
			Channel A	DIMM_A1 and DIMM_A2
F2A55-M			Channel B	DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2
