Intel Desktop Board D945GCL Technical Product Specification 1.4.1 Memory Configurations The Intel 82945G GMCH supports two types of memory organization: • Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for real world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory capacities of both DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used. • Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a single DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used. Figure 3 illustrates the memory channel and DIMM configuration. Figure 3. Memory Channel and DIMM Configuration 1.4.1.1 Dual Channel (Interleaved) Mode Configurations Figure 4 shows a dual channel configuration using two DIMMs. In this example, the DIMM sockets are populated with identical DIMMs. Figure 4.
