Create a DDR3 memory through ALTMEMPHY wizard

Good Day everyone! I have a troubles in understanding how to create a megacore DDR3 which must be based on ARRIAIIGX family's IC! I plan to use a memory like MT41J64M16JT-15E (2*x16bits) & EP2AGX6...

DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 memory devices has to be interfaced to special (dedicated) FPGA pins. Run Pin Planner and enable showing of DQ/DQS groups - You'll see which pins can be used as data pins, which pins must be DQS, etc... Also some banks are capable of faster rates, some are not, but I am not sure about Arria II, since I use Cyclone III.
