Is my memory single or double sided???

I am running 2 sticks of 512mb of Geil Value memory in my machine and want to upgrade to 2gb.
I've looked at the motherboard specs and I can apparently run 4 x 512mb sticks and still have them running at 400mhz and dual channel.....but only if my memory is "Single Sided" ?!?!?!? (otherwise it runs at 333mhz!)

I've had a look at the Geil website and it doesnt seem to say if my kit is single or double sided???

Anyone got any idea's???

Cheers, StevieP

I cant really tell if the memory has chips on both sides, they have blue aluminium covers on them! I'll have a look tonight though.

My CPU is an Athlon 64 3200 (see my sig.)

I dont think you can change it from 333mhz according to the MSI specs on my mobo, 4 x 512mb sticks can only run at 333 if they are double sided, its the single sided sticks that can run at the full 400!!!
