Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance system performance. The following illustrations explain the population rules for Dual-Channel mode. DIMM1 DIMM2 Important • DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2, and the DDR3 standard is not backward compatible. Always install DDR3 memory modules in DDR3 DIMM slots. • To ensure system stability, memory modules must be of the same type and density in Dual-Channel mode. • Due to chipset resource usage, the system will only detect up to 15+ GB of memory (not full 16 GB) when all DIMM slots have 8GB memory modules installed. 1-15 Getting Started
