(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU support list.)
L2 cache varies with CPU
Front Side Bus
1333/1066/800 MHz FSB
Chipset
North Bridge: Intel® G43 Chipset
South Bridge: Intel® ICH10
Memory
4 x 1.8V DDR2 DIMM sockets supporting up to 8 GB of system memory
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR2 800/667 MHz memory modules
(Because of chipset limitations, to avoid the system being unable to start or the memory being incorrectly detected, if only one memory module is to be installed, we suggest that you install it on the DDR2_1 or DDR2_3 socket; to install two memory modules, we suggest that you install them on the DDR2_1 and DDR2_3 sockets (when the DDR2_2 or DDR2_4 socket is populated with a DDR2 800 MHz memory module, the memory speed will be downgraded to 667 MHz).
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest memory support list.)
Because of chipset limitations
* To avoid the system being unable to start or the memory being incorrectly detected, if only one memory module is to be installed, we suggest that you install it on the DDR2_1 or DDR2_3 socket; to install two memory modules, we suggest that you install them on the DDR2_1 and DDR2_3 sockets.
* Do not populate both DIMM sockets of the same channel (e.g. DDR and DDR2), or populate 4 DIMM sockets with double-sided memory modules to prevent system's failure to start or incorrect detection of memory modules. Please refer to the user manual for the memory configurations table.
