System memory features
The board has four DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:

  • 1.5V DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
  • Unbuffered, single-sided, or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported
  • 8 GB maximum total system memory using DDR3 1333, DDR3 1066 or DDR3 800 MHz DIMMs
  • Minimum total system memory: 256 MB
  • Non-ECC and ECC DIMMs
  • Serial Presence Detect
  • DDR3 1333, DDR3 1066, or DDR3 800 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
Note 8 GB maximum total memory is subject to availability of 2GB memory modules.

 

Note To be fully compliant with applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board should have DIMMs supporting the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This enables the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is installed, the BIOS tries to correctly configure the memory settings. Performance and reliability can be impacted or the DIMMs might not function under the determined frequency.

 

Supported DIMM configurations

DIMM Type SDRAM Technology Smallest usable DIMM (one x16 Single-sided DIMM) Largest usable DIMM (one x8 Double-sided DIMM) Maximum capacity with four identical x8 Double-sided DIMMs
DDR3 800 512 Mbit 256 MB 1 GB 4 GB
DDR3 800 1 Gbit 512 MB 2 GB 8 GB
DDR3 1066 512 Mbit 256 MB 1 GB 4 GB
DDR3 1066 1 Gbit 512 MB 2 GB 8 GB
DDR3 1333 512 Mbit 256 MB 1 GB 4 GB
DDR3 1333 1 Gbit 512 MB 2 GB 8 GB

 

Note Regardless of the DIMM type used, the memory frequency is either equal to or less than the processor system Bus frequency. For example, if DDR3 1333 memory is used with a 1066 MHz system Bus frequency processor, the memory operates at 1066 MHz. The table below lists the resulting operating memory frequencies based on the combination of DIMMs and processors.

 

DIMM Type Processor system bus frequency Resulting memory frequency
DDR3 800 800 MHz 800 MHz
DDR3 800 1066 MHz 800 MHz
DDR3 800 1333 MHz 800 MHz
DDR3 1066 800 MHz 800 MHz
DDR3 1066 1066 MHz 1066 MHz
DDR3 1066 1333 MHz 1066 MHz
DDR3 1333 800 MHz 800 MHz
DDR3 1333 1066 MHz 1066 MHz
DDR3 1333 1333 MHz 1333 MHz
