System Memory Features

The Intel® Desktop Board DQ45EK supports the dual or single channel memory configurations defined below.

• Two 240-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets with gold-plated contacts
• Support for:
  • Non-ECC DDR2 800 MHz/667 MHz, 1.8 V memory
  • Serial Presence Detect (SPD)
  • Unbuffered, non-registered single or double-sided DIMMs
• Memory configurations listed below:
  • Up to 2.0 GB utilizing 512 Mb or 1 Gb technology
  • Up to 4.0 GB utilizing 1 Gb technology
• Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported

System resources and hardware (such as PCI Express) require physical memory address locations that can reduce available addressable system memory. This could result in a reduction of as much as 1 GB or more of physical addressable memory being available to the operating system and applications, depending on the system configuration and operating system.

Tested Memory

3rd Party Tested Memory*
3rd party tested memory occurs as requested by the memory vendors and is tested at an independent memory house that is not a part of Intel - Computer Memory Test Labs (CMTL).

Vendor Self Tested Memory
Intel supplies the memory vendors that participate in this program with a common memory test plan to use as a basic checkout of the memory stability. Memory listed here was either tested by the memory vendor or by Intel using this test plan. These part numbers may not be readily available throughout the product life cycle.

The table below lists parts which passed testing conducted using Intel's Self Test program for Intel® Desktop Board DQ45EK.
