    • PLEASE NOTE:
    • This motherboard DOES NOT support high density or ECC memory.
    • Use identical memory modules to use dual channel mode, and DO NOT use three individual sticks of memory as it may cause failures. Please use either 1 piece, 2 pieces, or 4 pieces. Refer to your manual for proper memory configurations for your motherboard.
    • Maximum memory speed may decrease when the following memory combination is used:
      - Each memory slot is installed with double-sided memory
      - Both DIMM1 and DIMM3 are installed with double-sided memory module (for motherboards with 4 DIMM sockets)
