ASUS Z8NA-D6 Series 2-15

2.4 System memory

2.4.1 Overview

The motherboard comes with six (6) Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline

Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.

A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 DIMM but is

notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 DIMM socket. DDR3 modules

are developed for better performance with less power consumption.

The gure illustrates the location of the DDR3 DIMM sockets:
