System Processor The VIG390S motherboard supports a single or dual Pentium Xeon™ processor. The processor’s VID pins automatically program the voltage regulator on the motherboard to the required processor voltage. In addition, the front side bus speed is automatically selected. The motherboard currently supports processors that run internally up to 3.6GHz and have a 512 KB second-level cache and 1MB third-level cache. The Intel Xeon™ processor incorporates Intel NetBurst® Microarchi

System Memory Main Memory The motherboard has four DDR2 SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. Support for up to a maximum memory size of 8GB. The BIOS automatically detects memory type, size, and speed. The motherboard supports the following memory features: • 240 pin DDR2 400 MHz SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts • Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: Double-sided DIMMS with x16 organisation are not supported. • 8 GB

Memory Configurations The Vig390s with Intel E7525 MCH supports Dual channel (Interleaved) mode memory organisation: Dual channel (Interleaved) mode: This mode offers the highest throughput for real world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory capacities of both DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal. If different speed DIMMs are used betw
