Dual-Channel Mode Population Rule
In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two
data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system
performance. Please refer to the following illustrations for population rules under
Dual-Channel mode.
These DIMM slots are intended for system memory modules.
Important
1. Make sure that you install memory modules of the same type and density
under Dual-Channel mode.
2. Only channel A will be used under Single-Channel mode.
3. When 1~4 DIMMs are installed, memory will run at 667MHz. But when 5~8
DIMMs are installed, the system will automatically tune the memory frequency
down to 533MHz due to AMD CPU limitations.
4. It is recommended that memory DIMMs should be installed in the order of DIMM1
-> DIMM2 -> DIMM3 ->
....
-> DIMM8.
