DDR2 memory support
This motherboard is an AMD
®
platform with DDR2 1066 support. It provides faster
data transfer rate and more bandwidth to increase memory data transfer rate and
computing efciency, enhancing system performance in 3D graphics and other
memory demanding applications. See page 1-14 for details.
64-bit CPU support
64-bit computing, the next generation technology to replace the current 32-bit
architecture, delivers advanced system performance, faster memory access and
increased productivity. This motherboard provides excellent compatibility and
exibility by supporting either 64-bit or 32-bit architecture.
PCI Express 2.0 support
This motherboard supports the latest PCIe 2.0 devices for double speed and
bandwidth which enhances system performance.
• DDR2 1066 is supported by AM2+ CPU only. Refer to www.asus.com for
the supported CPU models.
• Due to AM2+ CPU limitation, only one DDR2 1066 DIMM is supported per
channel. When four DDR2 1066 DIMMs are installed, all DIMMs run at
800MHz frequency by default for system stability.
