Dual Channel Memory Configuration

The GA-N680SLI-DQ6 supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operat- ing the Dual Channel Technology, the bandwidth of memory bus will double.

The GA-N680SLI-DQ6 includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two DIMM sockets as following:

Channel 0 : DDRII1, DDRII2

Channel 1 : DDRII3, DDRII4

If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due to the limitation of chipset specifications.

1.Dual Channel mode will not be enabled if only one DDRII memory module is installed.

2.To enable Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules (it is recommended to use memory modules of identical brand, size, chips, and speed), you must install them into DIMM sockets of the same color.

The following is a Dual Channel Memory configuration table: (DS: Double Side, SS: Single Side, "--": Empty)

	DDRII1	DDRII2	DDRII3	DDRII4
2 memory modules	DS/SS	--	DS/SS	--
	--	DS/SS	--	DS/SS
4 memory modules	DS/SS	DS/SS	DS/SS	DS/SS

If two memory modules are to be used to achieve Dual Channel mode, we recommend installing them in DDRII1 and DDRII3 DIMM sockets.
