Hi all,

I have an ASUS A7V8X-MX SE mobo and I wanted to know that how will I be able to know if my system supports or is running in dual channel mode even if I have 2 RAM's of same size, fsb, make ???

And thanks in advance !!!

u can check that out by CPU-Z
the correct slots to put the RAM in varies depending on the board, so check your manual. Also,BIOS will flash a little message during bootup that will indicate if Dual DDR is enabled.

Nope....u r mobo does not support Dual Channel.....only single channel..

So should I opt for single 1GB RAM or 2*512 MB RAM ???

U should get a single 1 GM stick as it will help u to add more RAM later as ur another slot will be empty

yes,.....get 1 gig stick....its a lot better...

Thanks all for your advice !!!

You should opt for 2 * 256 Mb instead of 1Gb. Does ur motherboard have 4 slots for ram. Check the manual or the package to see if it supports dual channel.

Mods pls close this topic as my problem is already solved !!!

Thanks all !!!
