Dual Channel memory configuration provides higher performance than single channel configuration. To get the highest performance of Dual
Channel, the DIMM modules you're using must meet the following conditions:
Same DRAM technology (128Mb, 256Mb, or 512Mb)
●
Same Density (128MB, 256MB, 512MB, etc.)
●
Matched DIMM configuration in each channel
●
Note: Memory interface speed will be set to the lowest speed of memory populated.
Optimize performance for dual channel is obtained with matched DIMM population. Table below shows DIMMs with same Organization and
Density, but are non-matching as bus width, technology and/or external banks are different. Mixing these DIMMs will put platform into
single channel mode.
