Main Memory
NOTE
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.
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
• 1333/1066/800 MHz DDR3 SDRAM interface
• Support for single-, dual-, and triple-channel memory interleaving
• Unbuffered, non-registered single or double-sided DIMMs with a voltage rating of
less than 1.6 V.
NOTE
Using a DIMM with a voltage rating higher than 1.6 V may damage the processor.
• Non-ECC DDR3 memory
• Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory only
• Up to 16 GB maximum total system memory
NOTE
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.
