    System Memory The boards have four DIMM sockets and support the following memory features: • 1.8 V (only) DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts • Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: Double-sided DIMMS with x16 organization are not supported. •...
  • Page 12 Memory Configurations • The Intel 82915G GMCH supports two types of memory organization: • Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for real world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory capacities of both DIMM channels are equal.
  • Page 13 Dual Channel (Interleaved) Mode Configurations Figure 7 shows a dual channel configuration using two DIMMs. In this example, the DIMM0 (blue) sockets of both channels are populated with identical DIMMs. Figure 7. Dual Channel (Interleaved) Mode Configuration with Two DIMMs Figure 8 shows a dual channel configuration using three DIMMs.
  • Page 14 Single Channel (Asymmetric) Mode Configurations NOTE Dual channel (Interleaved) mode configurations provide the highest memory throughput. Figure 10 shows a single channel configuration using one DIMM. In this example, only the DIMM0 (blue) socket of Channel A is populated. Channel B is not populated. Figure 10.
  • Page 15 Installing & Removing DDR2 SDRAM In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs) Installing Memory You can install from 128MB to 4GB of memory in the motherboard DIMM sockets. The board has four 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DIMM sockets. The motherboard supports the following memory features: •...
