Intel Desktop Board DG43GT Technical Product Specification

1.5 System Memory

The board has four DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:

• 1.8 V DDR2 800 MHz and DDR2 667 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.

• 16 GB maximum total system memory (with 2 Gb memory technology). Refer to

Section 2.1.1 on page 41 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.
