Hello
I have the following motherboard: Asus P4P800 (not-Deluxe version).
Actually I have two dimms of 256MB each, installed on memory slot 0 and
2,and so the Dual Channel is enabled.
If I want to do an upgrade of my system memory, must I purchase 1 or 2x
dimms to mantain the dual-channel? For istance, if I install 4 dimms the
dual-channel is enabled, but if I install bank 0,1,2 , what happens??

Best regards!

Not absolutely sure, but I'd guess the other slots would just act as single
channels. The dual channel would still work.

On a 3 slot MoBo that's how it works.

If however you install 3 DDR modules, the ICH5R will only work in single
DDR.
