I am running MemTest86+ V1.5 on DOS mode to test the 2 sticks of 512MB
memory config. as dual channel on my system
Mobo: P4P800 SE
As reported by MemTest86+
Pentium 4(0.09) 299MHz
L1 Cache: 16K 20969 MB/s
L2 Cache: 1024 16297 MB/s
Memory: 1023M 2726 MB/s
Chopset:Intel i848/i865 (ECC:Disabled) FSB:199MHz - PAT:Enabled
Settings: RAM:199 Mhz (DDR398) / CAS: 2.5-4-4-8/ Single Channel (64
bits)
Questions:
1. Settings show Single Channel. However I have configure to run as
dual channel. Is this normal?
2. How to I check and confirm whether the 2 sticks of memory are
running as dual channel?

Mem86+ ran all the 8 tests without problem.

TIA

If you look half way down this page, there are screen snapshots
from two programs: CPUZ and ctiaw

Try these out:

"configure to run as dual channel" means you are using sticks
having identical rows/columns/banks and amount of memory. The
sticks are placed in the same position number in each channel.
Like A2 & B2. If you have disabled the "Full Screen Logo" in
the BIOS, you might even see a declaration of "dual channel"
printed on the BIOS screen when the computer starts the
power on self test sequence.

HTH,

Just insert one stick in the first slot then insert stick nr 2 into slot
nr 3 and thats it. Providing that you mobo has 4 ram slots.
