Hi all,

I just built my second pc. All is well but I have Dual DDR400 on an ASUS
A7N8X-X MB showing in the BIOS as running in single channel mode.

What do I need to do to get the Dual Channel working ?

Any ideas please....

Thanks.
 
....I think I may have found a clue on the ASUS site.

It suggests you need two DIMMS to enable Dual channel mode....I have a
single 512.

Sound about right ??

Also, as far as I know, the A7N8X-X motherboard does not support
dual-channel memory even if you had two ram sticks, as the -X is the budget
version of the A7N8X family.
