English Dual Channel Memory Configuration The GA-945GM-S2/GA-945GM-DS2/GA-945GMF-DS2 supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the Dual Channel Technology, the bandwidth of memory bus will double. The GA-945GM-S2/GA-945GM-DS2/GA-945GMF-DS2 includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two DIMM sockets as following: Channel 0 : DDRII1, DDRII2 Channel 1 : DDRII3, DDRII4 If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due to the limitation of Intel chipset specifications. 1. Dual Channel mode will not be enabled if only one DDRII memory module is installed. 2. To enable Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules (it is recommended to use memory modules of identical brand, size, chips, and speed), you must install them into DIMM sockets of the same color.

Dual Channel Memory Configuration
The GA-945GM-S2/GA-945GM-DS2/GA-945GMF-DS2 supports the Dual
Channel Technology. After operating the Dual Channel Technology, the band-
width of memory bus will double.
The GA-945GM-S2/GA-945GM-DS2/GA-945GMF-DS2 includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel
has two DIMM sockets as following:
Channel 0 : DDRII1, DDRII2
Channel 1 : DDRII3, DDRII4
If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due to the
limitation of Intel chipset specifications.
1.
Dual Channel mode will not be enabled if only one DDRII memory module is installed.
2.
To enable Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules (it is recommended to use
memory modules of identical brand, size, chips, and speed), you must install them into DIMM
sockets of the same color.
