Dual Channel
VT x800 series support the Dual Channel Technology. After operating the dual channel
technology, the bandwidth of memory bus will add double up to 4GB/s.
The mainboard inculdes 4 DIMM slots, and each channel has two DIMM sockets as following:
T
Channel A : DDR1, DDR3
T
Channel B : DDR2 , DDR4
If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations due to
the limitation of Intel chipset specifications.
NOTE: We strongly recommend user to slot two DDR memory modules into the DIMMs with the same color in
order for Dual Channel Technology to work.
The following tables include all memory-installed combination types:

1
Only one DDR memory module is
installed ?
The Dual Channel Technology can’t operate when only
one DDR memory module is installed.

memory modules are inserted individually into Channel A
and B. If you install two memory modules in the same
