Recommend DIMM Module Combination 
1. 
One DIMM Module ----Plug in DIMM1 
2. 
Two DIMM Modules---Plug in two slots of the same color for Dual channel function. 
3. 
Four DIMM Modules---Plug in DIMM1/DIMM2/DIMM3/ DIMM4 . 
For Dual channel Limited! 
1.  Dual channel function only supports when 2 DIMM Modules plug in two slots of the same 
color, or 4 DIMM Modules plug in DIMM1/DIMM2/DIMM3/ DIMM4. 
2.  DIMM Modules must be the same type, same size, and same frequency for dual channel 
function. 
Install DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is not difficult, you can refer to figure 
below to see how to install a 240-Pin DDR2 667/DDR2 800.
