Memory Support
Contents
Currently, Intel CPUs have an embedded memory controller, meaning that it is the processor, not the chipset, that defines what memory technologies you can have and the maximum amount of memory that is possible. The motherboard, however, may have a limitation as to how much memory can be installed.
The integrated memory controller of the Celeron 847 CPU supports DDR3 memories up to 1,333 MHz. According to Gigabyte, the C847N is limited to memories up to 1,333 MHz.
The motherboard has two memory sockets, supporting up to 16 GiB if you use two 8 GiB modules.
In order to enable the dual-channel mode and achieve the highest performance possible with this motherboard, you must install two memory modules.
