I've just upgraded to socket 939 and installed: Mushkin 2GB DDR XP4000 Extreme Performance Dual Channel Kit (2x1GB).

I've never used dual channel memory before so I'm a bit clueless to be honest.

Anything I need do to get this running in dual channel or will it run in dual channel by default?

I've had a quick look in the BIOS and I can't see anything...

Thanks.
 
My motherboard is an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum nForce4 Ultra.

I've got the two sticks in DIMM slots 1 and 2 at the moment, I'll change them now.
 
Hmm, I put the two sticks in DIMM slots 1 and 3 then booted up. Windows crashed after a minute or so.
 
I haven't changed the BIOS at all apart from the boot sequence.

According to the manual I can use dual channel memory in slots 1 and 2 :confused:
 
Put them in slots 2 and 4, crashed again :/

EDIT: Just downloaded and installed CPU-Z. According to the memory section in CPU-Z with my memory in slots 1 and 2, it is running in dual channel.
