data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling Triple-Channel mode can enhance the best
system performance. When you have three or more memory modules, please always

Important
• DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2 and the DDR3 standard
is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR3 memory modules in
the DDR3 DIMM slots.
In Triple-Channel/ Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules
•
of the same type and density in different channel DIMM slots.
