Intel Desktop Board D865GVHZ Product Guide

Main Memory

NOTE

To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel® SDRAM memory specification addendums, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. If your memory modules do not support SPD, you will see a notification to this effect on the screen at power up. The BIOS will attempt to configure the memory controller for normal operation.

The desktop board supports system memory as defined below:

Dual channel and up to four 184-pin Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMMs) connectors with gold-plated contacts.
