Based on the product specifications provided by Cnet.com, this Gigabyte motherboard has a Dual channel memory architecture. This means that although it has 4 slots for the memory, this is intended for x2 2Gigabytes each of RAM cards. The dual channel architecture detects 2 RAM cards. These are the combinations that you should follow.
- x2 1Gigabyte = 2Gigabytes
- x1 2Gigabytes and x1 1Gigabyte = 3Gigabytes
- x2 2Gigabytes = 4Gigabytes
