Overview

This motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Module

(DIMM) sockets. A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 DIMM but

is notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 DIMM socket. DDR3 modules are

developed for better performance with less power consumption. The figure illustrates the

location of the DDR3 DIMM sockets:
