1.4 Processor
The board is designed to support the following processors:
•Intel®Core™2 Quad processor Q6000/Q8000/Q9000 Series in an LGA775 socket
•Intel®Core™2 Duo processor E4000/E6000/E7000/E8000 Series in an LGA775

•Intel®Pentium®Dual-Core processor E2000/E5000 Series in an LGA775 socket
•Intel®Celeron®Dual-Core processor 400/1000 Series in an LGA775 socket
•Intel®Xeon®processor 3000/X3000 Series in an LGA775 socket
Other processors may be supported in the future. This board is designed to support
processors with a maximum wattage of 95 W. The processors listed above are only
supported when falling within the wattage requirements of the board. See the Intel
web site listed below for the most up-to-date list of supported processors.
For information about… Refer to:
Supported processors http://processormatch.intel.com
CAUTION
Use only the processors listed on the web site above. Use of unsupported processors
can damage the board, the processor, and the power supply.
NOTE
Use only ATX12V-compliant power supplies.

1.5 System Memory
The board has four DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
•1.8 V DDR3 800 MHz, DDR3 1066 MHz, and DDR3 1333 (OC) MHz SDRAM DIMMs
•Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
•Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:
Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.
•8 GB maximum total system memory (with 2 Gb memory technology). Refer to
Section 2.1.1 on page 39 for information on the total amount of addressable
memory.
•Minimum total system memory: 512 MB
•Non-ECC DIMMs
•Serial Presence Detect
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board
should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data
structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to
accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory
is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but
performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the
determined frequency.

1.5.1 Memory Configurations
The Intel 82P43 MCH supports the following types of memory organization:
•Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for
real world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory
capacities of both DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary
from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel
must be equal. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest
memory timing will be used.
•Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel
bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a
single DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and
device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed DIMMs are
used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.
•Flex mode. This mode provides the most flexible performance characteristics.
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. Flex mode results in multiple zones of dual and single
channel operation across the whole of DRAM memory. To use flex mode, it is
necessary to populate both channels.
