Dual Channel Memory Configuration
GA-8VT880P Combo supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the Dual Channel Technology,
the bandwidth of Memory Bus will add double.
If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due
to the limitation of Intel chipset specifications.
1. Dual Channel mode will not be enabled if only one DDR/DDR II memory module is installed.
2. To enable Dual Channel mode with 2 memory modules (it is recommended to use memory
modules of identical brand, size, chips, and speed), you must install them into DIMM sockets
of the same color.
The following is a Dual Channel Memory configuration table: (DS: Double Side, SS: Single Side)
