Installing DDR2/DDR3 Turbo Card
The DDR2/DDR3 Turbo Cards are memory switchers which should be installed in
DIMM slots. If your memory is DDR2, you should install the DIMM_DDR3_1 side of
DDR2/DDR3 Turbo Cards into DIMM_DDR3_1 and DIMM_DDR3_2. If your memory is
DDR3, you should install the DIMM_DDR2_1 side of DDR2/DDR3 Turbo Cards into
DIMM_DDR2_2 and DIMM_DDR2_4.

into the DIMM_DDR2_1 or DIMM_DDR3_1 first.
- To overclock your DDR3 memory and raise FSB higher then 1333MHz, you
must remove the DDR2/DDR3 Turbo Cards from the DIMM slots.
