ASUS P5QC 2-11
2.4 System memory
2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) and four Double
Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2/DDR DIMM but
is notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2/DDR DIMM socket, while
a DDR3/DDR2 module has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR
DIMM. DDR3 modules are developed for better performance with less power
consumption. The gure illustrates the location of the DDR3/DDR2 DIMM sockets:

• DDR2 1066MHz DIMMs work only on the black slots for one DIMM per
channel. Ensure to install the DDR2 1066MHz DIMMs ONLY on the BLACK
slots!
