Intel Desktop Board DP45SG Technical Product Specification
Product Description
15
1.5 System Memory
The board has four DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
• 1.5 V DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs with gold plated contacts, with the option to raise the
voltage to support higher performance DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs
• Dual channel interleaved mode support
Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs.
• 8 GB maximum total system memory. Refer to Section 2.1.1 on page 37 for
i
nformation on the total amount of addressable memory.
• Minimum recommended total system memory: 256 MB
• Non-ECC DIMMs
• Serial Presence Detect
• DDR3 1333 MHz, DDR3 1066 MHz, and DDR3 800 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
NOTES
• Remove the video card in the Primary PCI Express x16 before installing or
upgrading memory to avoid interference with the memory retention mechanism.
• 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.
Table 3 lists the supported DIMM configurations.
