Dual Channel on Asus P4P800
Hello
I have the following motherboard: Asus P4P800 (not-Deluxe version). Actually I have two dimms of 256MB each, installed on memory slot 0 and 2,and so the Dual Channel is enabled. If I want to do an upgrade of my system memory, must I purchase 1 or 2x dimms to mantain the dual-channel? For istance, if I install 4 dimms the dual-channel is enabled, but if I install bank 0,1,2 , what happens?? Best regards! Mirko

The dual channel would still work. On a 3 slot MoBo that's how it works. -- Craven Birds Bird sightings based around 'Craven' Skipton, North Yorks. http://cravenbirds.mysite.freeserve.com/ http://mysite.freeserve.com/cravenbirds
