road-runner Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 the memory modules are dual channel, so you multiply what you get in cpu-z by 2 and there you go Its not the dual channel, its that the RAM is double data RAM therefore you multiply the bus speed by 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 gah thanks. Its actually running in single channel mode if that means anything. This really makes me long for the old socket a days when I knew what was what. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC10281982B Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I'm using slots 0 & 1. which should be channel 0, according to the manual. I have 2 2048 Mbyte sticks. So, the system telling me that the total is 4096 is correct. :headache developing: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 so it appears you are using a single channel... channel 0... you should place a stick in each channel, channel 0 and channel 1... slot 0: channel 0 slot 1: channel 0 slot 2: channel 1 slot 3: channel 1 slot 0 & 2 = dual channel (slot 0: channel 0, slot 2: channel 1) slot 1 & 3 = dual channel (slot 0: channel 0, slot 2: channel 1) slot 0 & 1 = single channel (slot 0: channel 0, slot 1: channel 0) slot 2 & 3 = single channel (slot 2: channel 1, slot 3: channel 1) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 To run in dual channel you need to use 1 and 3 or 2 and 4, or both sticks in the same colors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 true, I'm looking for single channel, 4 GB. using dual channel i'd effectually have 2 gigs of ram instead of 4. I managed to get the system to almost 3 ghz (333x9). Thanks gang. The explanation of why cpuz is saying something different than the bios is beyond me atm. therefor I choose to sleep on it.

hardnrg Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 true, I'm looking for single channel, 4 GB. using dual channel i'd effectually have 2 gigs of ram instead of 4. dude... no... just no lol dual channel is kinda like RAID-0, you don't LOSE capacity, you just GAIN speed by kinda doing parallel data transfer... dual channel is faster than single channel, the capacity is the same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 ok I had that concept wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
