Dual-Channel Memory Population Rules

In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two
data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system
performance. The following illustrations explain the population rules for Dual-Channel
mode.

Important

- DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDR2

standard is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR2
memory modules in the DDR2 DIMM slots.

- In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the

same type and density in different channel DIMM slots.

- To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules

into the DIM M1 first.

- Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be

detected up to 7+GB (not full 8GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 2GB
memory module.
