Intel Desktop Board D865PCD Technical Product Specification
1.5.1Memory Configurations
The Intel 82865P MCH component provides two features for enhancing memory throughput:
•Dual Channel memory interface. The board has two memory channels, each with a single DIMM socket, as shown in Figure 3
•Dynamic Addressing Mode. Dynamic mode minimizes overhead by reducing memory accesses
Table 5 summarizes the characteristics of Dual and Single Channel configurations with and without the use of Dynamic Mode.
