Memory

Dual-channel memory architecture

4 x 240-pin DIMM slots support maximum 64GB unbuffered non-

ECC DDR3 1866 / 1600 / 1333 /1066MHz memory modules

When you install a total memory of 4GB or more, Windows

32-bit operating system may only recognize less than 3GB. We

recommend a maximum of 3GB system memory if you are using a

Windows

32-bit operating system.

The 64GB maximum memory capacity can be supported with

16GB DIMMs or above. ASUS will update the

Memory QVL

(Qualiﬁed Vendors List) once the DIMMs are available on the

market.
