Suits LGA 775 DDR2 builds; not for other sockets

This motherboard suits builders assembling or repairing LGA 775 systems that require DDR2 memory support. It is not for buyers who need a different CPU socket, a newer chipset generation, or memory types other than DDR2. The product includes the board, an I/O shield, and one SATA cable only.

8 GB DDR2 maximum memory capacity

The single specification that decides fitment is the 8 GB maximum memory limit imposed by the Intel P45 chipset. Any build requiring more than 8 GB of system RAM cannot use this motherboard. Verify that your processor, memory modules, and operating system requirements align with this ceiling before purchase.
