Hello,
I've noticed on boot up that my computer is only using "Memory Mode: Single Channel." I have a MSI K7N2-L Mobo with Dual Channel DDR support. About a week ago, my computer read that it was "Memory Mode: Dual Channel" so I am curious as to what changed it. I recently had a BIOS problem so I asked for some help on this forum and fixed it, but I am not sure if that changed the Memory mode also. Another note is that I also recently updated my bios with Live Update 3. looking on-line I found out these specifications for running Dual Channel:
Matched DIMM configuration in each channel
Same Density (128MB, 256MB, 512MB, etc.)
Same DRAM technology (128Mb, 256Mb, or 512Mb)
Same DRAM bus width (x8 or x16)
All either single-sided or dual-sided
Matched in both Channel A and Channel B memory channels
Populate symmetrical memory slots (Slot 0 or Slot 1)
My ram follows these, I recently checked, but more importantly the same ram worked with dual channel.
Here is the link to what I did in BIOS to fix my FSB: FSB Problem
Thanks,
Matteo
