processors. It uses serial point-to-point links, which allows increased bandwidth
and stability, and provides an improved performance. It also provides two SATA 6.0
Gb/s and four SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports for faster data retrieval at double the bandwidth
of current bus systems.
Dual-Channel DDR3 2400(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 / 1066
Support
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of
2400(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 / 1066 MHz to meet the
higher bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet
applications. The dual-channel DDR3 architecture enlarges the bandwidth of your
system memory to boost system performance. Refer to page 2-5 for details.
* Due to CPU behavior, DDR3 2400/2200/2000/1800 MHz memory module will run at DDR3
2133/2133/1866/1600 MHz frequency as default.
