Main Memory

NOTE

To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel

®

SDRAM memory specifications, 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 the following memory features:
• Four 240-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module

(DIMM) connectors with gold-plated contacts arranged in three channels

• 1333/1066/800 MHz DDR3 SDRAM interface
• Support for single-, dual-, and triple-channel memory interleaving
• Unbuffered, non-registered single or double-sided DIMMs with a voltage rating of

less than 1.6 V.

NOTE

Using a DIMM with a voltage rating higher than 1.6 V may damage the processor.

• Non-ECC DDR3 memory
• Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory only
• Up to 16 GB maximum total system memory

NOTE

32-bit operating systems are limited to a maximum of 4 GB of memory. The
operating system report less than 4 GB because of the memory used by add-in
graphics cards.
