Memory Features
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
• 1600/1333/1066/800 MHz DDR3 SDRAM interface (XMP version 1.2 performance profile support for memory speeds above 1333 MHz)
• Support for single-, dual-, and triple-channel memory interleaving
• Unbuffered, nonregistered single or double-sided DIMMs with a voltage rating of less than 1.6 V.
• Non-ECC DDR3 memory
• Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory only
• Up to 16 GB maximum total system memory

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.

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

Intel Desktop board DX58SO has four 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets arranged in three channels (A, B, and C). Channel A shares two sockets (DIMM 0 and DIMM 1) and Channels B and C have one socket each.

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.

For information on Intel® XMP-ready DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs, refer to Intel® Extreme Memory Profiles.
