Memory

4 x DIMM, Max. 16 GB, DDR2 1200(O.C.)/1066*/800/667 ECC,Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory
Dual Channel memory architecture
*Due to AMD CPU limitation, DDR2 1200/1066 is supported by AM2+/AM3 CPU for one DIMM per channel only.
*We recommend that you install the DDR2 1200 memory modules on the yellow slots for better performance.
*Due to OS limitation, when installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed memory of less than 3GB is recommended.
