A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 DIMM but is notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 DIMM socket. The figure illustrates the location of the DDR3 DIMM sockets: DIMM_A1 DIMM_B1 A55M-A/USB3 Channel Channel A Channel B A55M-A/USB3 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets Sockets DIMM_A1 DIMM_B1 ASUS A55M-A Series 1-11 1.5 System memory 1.5.1 Overview This motherboard comes with less power consumption. DDR3 modules are developed for better performance with two Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
