Dual Channel DDR
GA-8GPNXP Duo supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the Dual Channel Technology, the
bandwidth of Memory Bus will double.
GA-8GPNXP Duo includes 6 DIMM sockets, If you want to enabled Dual Channel Technology, you have 2
choose as following :
Channel A : DDR 1, DDR 2 or Channel A : DDR II 1
Channel B : DDR 3, DDR 4 Channel B : DDR II 2
If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due
to the limitation of Intel chipset specifications.
1. One/three DDR memory module is installed: The Dual Channel Technology can't operate
when only one DDR memory module is installed.
2. Two DDR memory modules are installed (the same memory size and type): The Dual
Channel Technology will operate when two memory modules are inserted individually into
Channel A and B. If you install two memory modules in the same channel, the Dual Channel
Technology will not operate.
3. Four DDR memory modules are installed: If you install four memory modules at the same
time, the Dual Channel Technology will operate only when those modules have the same
memory size and type.
We'll strongly recommend our user to slot two DDR memory modules into the DIMMs with the same
color in order for Dual Channel Technology to work.
The following table is for Dual Channel Technology combination:
2 memory modules
4 memory modules
DDR 1 DDR 2 DDR 3 DDR 4

Fig.1
The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory module
can only fit in one direction. Insert the DIMM memory module
vertically into the DIMM socket. Then push it down.
Fig.2
Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets to
lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the
DIMM module.
Note: Mixed mode, populating DDR and DDR II memory modules simultaneously is not supported.
