CPUz says Single channel

DevilBoy916 · 6 Feb 2008 at 18:03

Hiya guys

I have 2 sticks of 2gb GEIL ddr2 800mhz ram.
Looking in CPUz, under memory, it says Channels : Single

I thought that the ram runs as dual channel?
I'm not quite sure what that means though. Anyone explain?

Cheers
DB

Did you put the Sticks into the two slots that are linked?

DevilBoy916 · 6 Feb 2008 at 18:06

They are in the two leftmost slots.
On the mobo diagram, this shows as DIMM A1 and DIMM A2...
ones yellow, ones black.

You need both sticks in both yellow slots

You sure?
That would be one in Dimm A1 and one in Dimm B1!

Cancel that, just seen it in the mobo book.
I either need all 4 slots filled, or A1 and B1.

I'll fix that now and see if it works.

Cheers dude!
