[2k4accord]

Hi guys,

I just got new OCZ PC-3200 DDR400 Premier Series 1GB (2x512MB) Dual Channel Kit CAS2.5 (OCZ4001024PDC-K)

But when i use CPUZ, it will not show up as Dual Channel.
Please comp. experts help me how to solve this.
I tried all kind of setting on the Motherboard but still no luck.

did u put the ram in both blue ram spots? they have to be in matching colour spots in order to do dual channel.

have you run a bandwidth test to see if you are getting numbers that would be typical of a dual channel setup?

Try the later version of CPU-Z. The # channels is greyed out, that doesn't mean that it isn't in dual channel mode. You'll need to test .

how do i run bandwidth test?
i downloaded the new cpuz and it is still grey out.

get everest home edition and run benchmarks, it will compare yours and other ram.

coool thanks for the program suggestion...

I ran it...it said it is dual channel so who knows...

when u boot up, does it say dual channel on the screen?

[2k4accord]

hmmm i will check when I get home.
Thanks for the suggestion.

If it does post Dual channels then it is running at Dual?

Go to your motherboard's manual and check to see what configuration is necessary for dual channel. Different motherboards have different configurations.

Second, it may or may not say dual channel during boot up. Reboot it now and see if it says single channel. If it says that then if you fix it then it should say dual channel. If it currently says nothing at all, I don't think it will ever say dual channel.

yea, check the boot up screen and see if it says and did you try the other slots? you said u installed on the blue slots, try it on the black slots.

For some odd reason, my friends motherboard didn't detect dual channel when it's in blue slots, but it worked on black slots or vice versa, can't remember ><

Run the benchmark -> Read test. Post the results. You should be in the 4000-5000MB/sec range for dual channel. If you're under 3000, you're in single channel mode.

can I improve this?

This is the reprot I get for benchmarck from Everest Home Edition.

u can lower your ram latency settings
