2.5.2 Memory Controller

The IMBA-XQ354 has four DDR2 DIMM sockets interfaced to the memory controller on

the Intel® Q35Intel® Q35 Northbridge. Each DIMM socket can support a 2.0 GB (max.)

667 MHz or 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM DIMM module with a system maximum of 8.0 GB.

NOTE:

For best performance, each memory module should have the same

capacity and operating frequency.

Each DIMM socket can support DIMMs with the following specifications:

 DDR2

only

 Un-buffered

only

 667 MHz or 800 MHz

 8.0 GB maximum capacity (2.0 GB maximum per DIMM)

 Memory

bandwidth:

o

6.4 GB/s in single-channel or dual-channel asymmetric mode

o

12.8 GB/s in dual-channel interleaved mode assuming DDR2 800 MHz

2.5.3 PCIe x16 Interface

The Intel® Q35Intel® Q35 PCIe bus is compliant with the PCI Express 1.1a Specifications

has the following PCIe lanes:

 One PCIe x16 graphics interface

 PCIe frequency of 1.25 GHz (2.5 Gb/s in each direction)

2.5.4 Graphics and Display Features

The Intel® Q35Intel® Q35 GMCH integrated graphics device (IGD) has 3D, 2D and video

capabilities. The Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) uses up to 256 MB of Dynamic Video

Memory Technology (DVMT) for graphics memory. External graphics accelerators on the

PCIe graphics (PEG) port are supported but cannot work simultaneously with the IGD.
