Hardware Installation
The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory channels.
Virtual Single Channel (VSC)
If both channels are populated with different memory configurations, the MCH defaults to Virtual Single Channel.
Dual Channel (DC)
Dual channel provides better system performance because it doubles the data transfer rate.
Dynamic Mode Addressing
This mode minimizes the overhead of opening/closing pages in memory banks allowing for row switching to be done less often.
Single Channel | DIMMs are on the same channel. | |
| DIMMs in a channel can be identical or | |
| completely different. | |
| Not all slots need to be populated. | |
|
|
|
Virtual Single | DIMMs of different memory configurations | |
Channel | are on different channels. | |
| Odd number of slots can be populated. | |
|
|
|
Dual Channel | DIMMs of the same memory configuration | |
| are on different channels. | |
|
|
|
Dynamic Mode | In single channel, requires even number or | |
Addressing | rows (side of the DIMM) populated. This | |
| mode can be enabled with 1 SS, 2 SS or | |
| 2 DS. | |
|
|
|
| In VSC mode, both channels must have | |
| identical row structure. | |
|

BIOS Setting
Configure the system memory in the Advanced Chipset Features submenu of the BIOS.
