Chapter 2: Hardware information

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory 

Modules (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 DIMM but is 

notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 DIMM socket. DDR3 modules 

are developed for better performance with less power consumption.

You may install 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB Unbuffered with ECC DDR3 DIMMs into 

the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
