1-2 Feature Summary
(Note 1) For further CPU support information, please go to GIGABYTE's website.
(Note 2) Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage
and therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount. For example, 8 GB of
memory size will instead be shown as 7.xxGB memory during system startup.
(Note 3) DDR II memory can be overclocked to 888MHz (must be used with an 1066MHz FSB
processor) through overclocking in BIOS. Go to GIGABYTE's website for more information
about the supported DDR II memory modules for this feature.
(Note 4) To use a DDR II 667 memory module on the motherboard, you must install an 800/1066MHz
FSB processor.
Only for GA-8I955X Royal. Only for GA-8I955X Pro.
