Memory

NVIDIA nForce® 750a SLI™

Up to 5200 MT/s HyperTransport™ 3.0 interface for AM3/AM2+ CPU

2000 / 1600 MT/s for AM2 CPU

4 x DIMM, max. 16GB, DDR2 1066* / 800 / 667 MHz, ECC and non-ECC, un-buffered memory

Dual channel memory architecture

*Due to AMD CPU limitation, DDR2 1066 is supported by AM3/AM2+ CPU for one DIMM per channel only. Refer to www.asus.com for the memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists)

**Due to OS limitation, when installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows® 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed memory of less than

3GB is recommended.
