Hi people.
As title says, which of the memory slots on the mobo do I use to get Dual Channel capability? Does it matter which slots? I have bought myslef 1GB (2 x 512MB) of Corsair Platinum XMS 3200 CAS2 TwinX memory.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there :D

Slots 1 & 3 = Dual Channel
Slots 2 & 3 = Dual Channel

Slots 1 & 2 are not Dual Channel ;)

Thanks Nebulous. Interesting to know that 1 & 2 won't do dual channel, which was what I was gonna install as! Is installing in slot 1 & 3 any better than 2 & 3, and vice versa?

Nahhh, either 2 & 3 or 1 & 3 will still give you dual ch and same performance. I've read you get different sandra scores, but i've never gotton that. Give it a shot and see what works best ;) .
