Dual Channel DDR/DDR II

GA-8I915P Duo supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the Dual Channel Technology, the
bandwidth of Memory Bus will add double.
GA-8I915P Duo includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two DIMM sockets as following:

Channel A : DDR 1

or

Channel A : DDR II 1

Channel B : DDR 2

Channel B : DDR II 2

If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due
to the limitation of Intel chipset specifications.
1. If one DDR/DDRII memory modules are installed: The Dual Channel Technolog cannot

operate when one DDR/DDRII memory modules are installed.

2. Two DDR/DDR II memory modules are installed (the same memory size and type): The Dual

Channel Technology will operate when two memory modules are inserted individually into
Channel A and B.

We'll strongly recommend our user to slot two DDR/DDR II memory modules into the DIMMs with the same
color in order for Dual Channel Technology to work.
The following table is for Dual Channel Technology combination: (DS: Double Side, SS: Single Side)
