System Memory Features
The Desktop Board supports the dual- or single-channel memory configurations defined below:
- Two 240-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) connectors with gold-plated contacts
- Support for:
- Non-ECC DDR3 1066/800 MHz memory
- Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory only
- Unbuffered, non-registered single- or double-sided DIMMs (except double-sided
- DIMMs with x16 organization)
- Memory configurations listed below:
- Up to 1 GB utilizing 256 Mb technology
- Up to 2 GB utilizing 512 Mb or 1 Gb technology
- Up to 4 GB utilizing 1 Gb technology
A minimum of 512 MB of total memory is required
System resources and hardware (such as PCI Express devices) require physical memory address locations that can reduce available addressable system memory. This could result in a reduction of as much as 1 GB or more of physical addressable memory being available to the operating system and applications, depending on the system configuration and operating system.
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.
