Dual-Channel Memory Population Rules
In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two
data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system

Important
-
DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDR2
standard is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR2
memory modules in the DDR2 DIMM slots.
-
In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of
the
same type and density
in different channel DIMM slots.
-
To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules
into the
DIMM1 first.
-
Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be
detected up to 15+GB (not full 16GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 4GB
memory module.
