Memory Population Rules - MSI PT880 Neo-FSR User Manual

The mainboard provides 3 slots for 184-pin, 2.5V DDR DIMM and supports up
to 3GB memory size. You can install DDR266 / DDR333 / DDR400 / DDR433 / DDR466
SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DIMM 1~3).
To operate properly, at least one DIMM module must be installed. Please note
that DDR433/DDR466 are overclocking specs.
(DIMM 1~3, from left to right)
Channel A: DIMM1 & DIMM2 (green)
Channel B: DIMM3 (purple)

Memory Population Rules

Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports up to a
maximum size of 1GB. You can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet
your own needs.
The mainboard supports both dual-channel & single-channel modes. Users
may install memory modules of different types and density under single-channel
mode. Under dual-channel mode, however, please make sure that you install memory
modules of the same type and density on DDR DIMMs "in pairs" -- {DIMM1 &
DIMM3} or {DIMM2 & DIMM3} to ensure system stability.
Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:
