The bottommost DRAM memory (the memory that is lowest within the system memory map) is mapped to dual channel operation; the topmost DRAM memory (the memory that is nearest to the 8 GB address space limit), if any, is mapped to single channel operation.
KT965 Family KTD-00699-S Public User Manual Date: 2010-04-15 Page 18 of 90 KT965 Graphics Subsystem The KT965 boards use the Intel Q965 Express chipset for the graphical control. This chipset contains two separate, mutually exclusive graphics options. Either the GMA 3000 graphics controller (contained within the 82Q965 GMCH) is used, or a PCI Express x16 add-in card can be used.
– refer to the hardware manual for actual power specification. The KT965/Flex board is powered through the ATX connector and the additional 12V separate supply for CPU as specified in the ATX specification; besides this the power supplied to the board must be within the ATX specification.
