2.3.1Overview
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:
2.3.2Memory Configurations
You may install 2 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB Unbuffered with ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
