WARNING: Altering PC memory frequency, voltage and/or latency may: (i) reduce
1
system stability and useful life of the system, memory and processor; (ii) cause the
processor and other system components to fail; (iii) cause reductions in system
performance; (iv) cause additional heat or other damage; and (v) affect system data
integrity. Intel has not tested, and does not warranty, the operation of the memory
beyond its specifications. Intel assumes no responsibility that the memory, including
if used with altered clock frequencies and/or voltages, will be fit for any particular
purpose. Check with memory manufacturer for warranty and additional details.
System resources and hardware (such as PCI and PCI Express*) require physical
2
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.
64-bit computing on Intel® architecture requires a computer system with
3
a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications
enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit
operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary
depending on your hardware and software configurations. See http://developer.
intel.com/technology/ intel64/index.htm for more information.
4
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology requires a PC with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost
Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost Technology performance varies depending
on hardware, software, and overall system configuration. Check with your PC
manufacturer on whether your system delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology.
See www.intel.com/technology/turboboost for more information.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with a processor
5
supporting HT Technology and an HT Technology-enabled chipset, BIOS, and
operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and
software you use. For more information including details on which processors
support HT Technology, see www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading.
Maximum peak memory bandwidth requires four DDR 3 modules to be populated
6
in each of the blue memory slots. DDR 3 2400 memory support on this motherboard
requires advanced knowledge of BIOS and memory tuning; individual results may
vary. For specific supported memory for this motherboard, please visit www.intel.
com/products/motherboard/ for more details.
7
Intel® High Definition Audio requires a system with an appropriate Intel® chipset
and a motherboard with an appropriate codec and the necessary drivers installed.
System sound quality will vary depending on actual implementation, controller,
codec, drivers, and speakers. For more information about Intel® HD Audio, refer
to www.intel.com/design/chipsets/hdaudio.htm.
