Is this Dual Channel?

Hey guys,
My friend told me he read somewhere that you can use all three sticks for dual channel like this:

I have a friend that is running his system like that and when he boots up it says "Dual Channel Enabled".

You CAN run dual channel memory like that.

It may say it runs in dual channel but as far as i know each channel has to have the same amount of ram.

Suma · Oct 3, 2003

are you guys positive?
Is there any like document or something that say that? or what the hell?

I'm pretty positive that is NOT dual channel. In my Asus A7N8X manual it says that you should fill up the blue slots first, which would be dual channel. But if you add another stick of ram, it reverts back to single channel. I've been wrong before though...

hmm..
how can I be sure?

yes, it is dual-channel. why wouldn't it be dual channel?

you don't even need to have the same amount of RAM in both groupings to have dual-channel enabled.
