Overview

The motherboard comes with four 240-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory

Modules (DIMM) sockets.

A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin

footprint compared to the 240-pin DDR2 DIMM. DDR3 DIMMs are notched differently to

prevent installation on a DDR2 DIMM socket. The following figure illustrates the location of

the sockets:
