Maximum Memory Speed
See the table below for the actual maximum memory speed on your system.
DDR3 memory speed depends on the type of DIMMs and the native memory bus speed of the memory
controller. All memory buses operate at the clock frequency of the DIMM with the lowest frequency.

Maximum Available Memory
See the table below for the maximum memory size that you can actually use on your system.
The maximum available memory is less than the maximum physical memory supported by your system
because some chipsets require PCI resource space of about 750MB. PCI resource requirements vary
depending on the type and the number of PCI cards you are using.
