Post subject: DDR Dual Channel Question
Archived from groups: alt>comp>hardware>amd>thunderbird (more info?)

I have a Chaintech Zenith Nforce board, and I just got a matching PC2700
stick to make a pair. To run dual channel, do I just stick it in the DDR3
slot and go, or are there some settings I should change? I'm still running
them at 166mhz.

Thanks for any tips!

Check your manual - as long as they are in different banks, you're sorted.

*There are three memoryslots, 1 and 2 right next to eachother,and 3 a bit
aside.
One stick schould be in the one that is a bit aside (3), and the other stick
in one of the two (1 and 2) that are next to eachother.
Don't put both sticks in the two slots(1 and 2) that are right next to
eachother, you will not have dual channel that way.I always use slot 1 an 3.

Yeah, the entire manual has about a sentence dedicated to it.."DDR1 and DDR3
are for Dual Channel DDR" and that's about it! I guess there are no
additional settings for it.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
