stalled in the DDR2 DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to
activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology. If only one memory
module is installed in the DDR3 DIMM slots on this motherboard,
it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.
3.
If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual
Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in
DDRII_A1 and DDRII_B2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel
Memory Technology .
4.
It is not allowed to install a DDR3 memory module into DDR2 slot
or install a DDR2 memory module into DDR3 slot; otherwise, this
motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.
5.
