1.5System memory
1.5.1Overview
This 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 |
Channel B | DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2 |
