2.4 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) This motherboard is equipped with five 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots. I. For 939-Pin CPU users, please install the DIMM into DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3 slots (see Page 9, No. 32). DDR1 and DDR2 slots support Dual Channel Memory Technology. Since there are some limitations from AMD, please follow the table below for proper configuration. Otherwise, the system may not boot up! For best compatibility of dual channel configuration, it is highly recommended to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules into the DDR DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. If you have two non-identical DDR SDRAMs, please install them into DDR1 and DDR3 for 64-bit mode. Besides, please do not install 3 DDR DIMMs into DDR1, DDR2, and DDR3 at the same time. Otherwise, the system cannot boot up!

Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)
This motherboard is equipped with five 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots.
I.
For
939-Pin
CPU users, please install the DIMM into DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3 slots (see
Page 9, No. 32).
DDR1
and
DDR2
slots support Dual Channel Memory Technology.
Since there are some limitations from AMD, please follow the table below for proper
configuration. Otherwise, the system may not boot up! For best compatibility of dual
channel configuration, it is highly recommended to install two
identical
(the same
brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules into the DDR DIMM slots to
activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. If you have two non-identical DDR
SDRAMs, please install them into DDR1 and DDR3 for 64-bit mode. Besides, please do
not install 3 DDR DIMMs into DDR1, DDR2, and DDR3 at the same time. Otherwise, the
system cannot boot up!
