Installing and Removing Memory

Intel Desktop board DX58SO2 has six 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets arranged in three
channels (A, B, and C). Each channel has two sockets as shown in the following
illustrations.
Optimal memory performance can be achieved by installing matched DIMMS of equal
speed and size in each channel. Figure 15 and Figure 16 show two examples of
memory configured for triple channel operation.
