Memórias em Flex Mode

Bom galera, estava vendo uma matérias e me deparei com essa aqui sobre Flex Mode, tecnologia interessante que vai mudar o conceito de Dual Channel, pois até então, para o Dual Channel funcionar, precisava de módulos aos pares do mesmo tamanho ou equivalentes. Com o Flex Mode da Intel, pode-se fazer Dual Channel com um módulo de 1GB e outro de 512 por exemplo. Vejam:

Flex mode
This mode provides the most flexible performance characteristics. The bottommost DRAM memory (the memory that is lowest within the system memory map) is mapped to dual channel operation; the topmost DRAM memory (the memory that is nearest to the 8 GB address space limit), if any, is mapped to single channel operation. Flex mode results in multiple zones of dual and single channel operation across the whole of DRAM memory. To use flex mode, it is necessary to populate both channels.

Intel® Desktop Boards based on the following chipsets support Flex Mode:

• X38
  
• Q35
  
• P35
  
• G33
  
• P965
  
• G965
  
• Q965
  
• Q963

Memory Configuration for Flex Mode

NOTE: The use of flex mode requires DIMMs to be installed in both channels.

The figure below shows a flex mode configuration using two DIMMs. The operation is as follows:

• The 512 MB DIMM in the Channel A, DIMM 0 socket and the lower 512 MB of the DIMM in the Channel B, DIMM 0 socket operate together in dual channel mode.
  
• The remaining (upper) 512 MB of the DIMM in Channel B operates in single channel mode.

The following image shows the BIOS Main menu with Flex Mode configuration information:
