Dual Channel Memory Configuration
The GA-965P-DS3 supports the Dual Channel Technology. After operating
the Dual Channel Technology, the bandwidth of memory bus will double.
The GA-965P-DS3 includes 4 DIMM sockets, and each Channel has two
DIMM sockets as following:
Channel 0 : DDRII1, DDRII2
Channel 1 : DDRII3, DDRII4
If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations
due to the limitation of Intel chipset specifications.
1. Dual Channel mode will not be enabled if only one DDRII memory module is installed.
2. To enable Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules (it is recommended to
use memory modules of identical brand, size, chips, and speed), you must install them
into DIMM sockets of the same color.
The following is a Dual Channel Memory configuration table: (DS: Double Side, SS: Single Side,
X:Empty)
2 memory modules
4 memory modules

(Note) When memory modules of different size and chips are installed, a message which indicates
that memory is configured to Flex memory mode operation will appear during POST.

Flex Memory Technology offers easier upgrades by allowing different memory sizes to
be populated and remain in dual-channel mode.
