4CoreDual-SATA2 motherboard provides two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate)

DIMM slots and two 240-pin DDR2 DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory

Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install identi-

cal (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR / DDR2 DIMM pair in the slots

of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical DDR2 DIMM pair in

Dual Channel A (DDRII_1 and DDRII_2; Yellow slots; see p.11 No.6) or identical

DDR DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDR1 and DDR2; Blue slots; see p.11 No.7),

so that Dual Channel Memory Technology can be activated. You may refer to the

Dual Channel Memory Configuration Table below.
