What does this mean ?

[Ezechiele]

Due to AMD AM2+ CPU limitation, DDR2 1066 is only supported by 1 dimm per
channel.

I need to buy 8Gb DDR2 1066 memory for my Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H (rev.
1.0) motherboard. WIll I be able to use 8Gb of memory or more ?

I think it means you can only use 2-4GB DDR2 modules 1 each slot.

Unless you're running a Windows 64bit OS version, IIRC only 3GB of
memory will be used. All 8GB will be used if you're running Linux.

Well, I had doubts for I never have seen two modules inserted in each slot

And what if I would like to use 16 Gb do DDR 2 memory ?

You can run two sticks of RAM at the DDR2-1066 speed.

You can run four sticks of RAM at the DDR2-800 speed.

These are statements related to the drive capability of
the processor. It can only run the DDR2-1066 case, when
the bus is lightly loaded. Once four sticks are installed,
then the clock rate to the memory must be reduced.

If you purchase a DDR2-1066 stick of memory, you can
run it at a lower speed, like DDR2-800. So there is
room to carry out experiments.

And this page has the memory limits of a number of
Windows OSes.
