INTEGRATOR'S NOTE
Regardless of the memory configuration used (dual channel, single channel, or flex
mode), DIMM 0 of Channel A must always be populated. This is a requirement of the
ICH8 Manageability Engine feature.

Dual Channel (Interleaved) Mode Configurations
Figure 4 shows a dual channel configuration using two DIMMs. In this example, the
DIMM0 (blue) sockets of both channels are populated with identical DIMMs.
Figure 4. Dual Channel (Interleaved) Mode Configuration
Figure 5 shows a dual channel configuration using three DIMMs. In this example, the
combined capacity of the two DIMMs in Channel A equal the capacity of the single
DIMM in the DIMM0 (blue) socket of Channel B.
