1.7System memory
1.7.1Overview
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 A2 DIMM A1 | DIMM B2 DIMM B1 |
Channel | Sockets |
Channel A | DIMM_A1 and DIMM_A2 |
Channel B | DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2 |
P7P55-M 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets
