Dual-Channel ModePopulation Rule
InDual-Channelmode,thememorymodulescantransmitand receivedatawithtwo
databuslinessimultaneously.Dual-Channel mode isenabledwhen theinstalled
memorycapacitiesof bothDIMM channelsareequal.If differentspeedDIMMs are
used between channels,theslowestmemorytiming will beused.
Dual-Channelmodecanbeachievedwithtwo,three orfourDIMMs. ToachieveDual-
Channelmode,thefollowing conditionsmustbemet:
*MatchedDIMM configurationin eachchannel
*SameDensity(128MB, 256MB,512MB,etc.)
*Matched in bothChannelAandChannelBmemorychannels
*Populatesymmetricalmemoryslots(Slot1orSlot2)
Configurationsthatdonotmatchtheaboveconditionswill reverttoSingle-Channel
mode.
