128MB~1GB	128MB~1GB	128MB~1GB	128MB~1GB	512MB~4GB

The following conditions must be met:

Matched DIMM configuration in each channel

Same Density (128MB, 256MB, 512MB, etc.)

Same DRAM technology (128Mb, 256Mb, or 512Mb)

Same DRAM bus width (x8 or x16)

Both either single-sided or dual-sided

Matched in both Channel A and Channel B memory channels

Populate symmetrical memory slots (Slot 0 or Slot 1)

The following conditions do not need to be met:

Same brand

Same timing specifications

Same DDR speed

Symmetrical DIMMs must be identical for optimal performance Same DIMM density, e.g. 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, etc. Same DRAM Technology, e.g. 128M-bit, 256M-bit, etc. Same DRAM bus width, e.g. x8 or x16

Single Sided or Dual Sided

NOTE: Note: Memory interface speed will be set to lowest speed of memory populated

Memory Characteristics

Optimize performance for single or dual channel is obtained with matched DIMM population

Table below shows DIMMs with same Organization and Density, but are non-matching as bus width, technology and/or external banks are different

Mixing these DIMMs will put platform into single channel mode

Non-Matched

128MB DIMMs
