Noob question, feel free to laugh...

On the Asus A7N8X deluxe, how exactly do you utilize the dual channel memory? I remember reading somewhere that it was slots 1 and 3 only. Or slots 2 and 3 or all three filled if you have three sticks. Right now I am currently using 1 and 2. Is this correct for utilizing dual channel memory on this board?

It is 1 & 3 or 2 & 4 ZeRo my man!

Ahhh! Im wrong! Gott afix this quick. I guess I thought I was right at first since this rig is so much faster than my old HP. Thanks!

......try 1 and 3 or 2 and 3, ZeRo. You have no slot 4

...........1 and 2 = Single Channel........

I just changed it to 1 and 3 and noticed that the POST reported dual channel mode. So I guess I fixed it. Thanks guys! (God Im such a noob, see what proprietary computing has done to me?)

Yeah I know, but I still feel naive

Don't worry about it ZeRo. I remember my n00b days...back with the old 8088

mmm...640k

It still works though. It just shows how well they made those things back then.

isn't that in the manual?
my gigabyte manual almost perfectly told me which slots to use to enable dual channel

TroNiXx · 12-10-2003, 07:34 AM
