Yes, but the question was, is running slots 1 and 2 and 3 still dual channel. AFAIK it is.
dreammmatt said:okay, because i have two 256MB Corsair XMS low latency DIMMs and since a friend just got a gig of ram, i feel pathetic with only 512, and was considering getting a 512MB stick - - any recommendations? I should prolly stick with Corsair, huh?

yes it is only if u got the really good match on the memory. u can run 2 x 256 on 1 and 2 while 1 x 512 on 3... that also dual channel.
The_Jizzler said:wait a minute. thats not right. duel cahnnel utilizes BOTH a channel 1 slot and a channel 2 slot. since channel one has two dimm slots and cahnnel 2 only has one dimm slot, then you need a mathced pair of ram sticks ,1 in a channel one dimm(dimm slots one and two), and one in the cahnnel 2 dimm(dimm slot 3 only). then your other 512 stick goes into the other channel one slot.
my question is if all 3 dimms are filled, then which dimm on channel one will be utilised for duel channel? is it dimm slot one or dimm slot 2?
jordan said:yeah, but thats pc2700- I am running 2x512mb samsung pc3700 (466mhz). My board A7n8X-DX can run 400ddr, if i drop in 1gb of pc2700 from crucial, there is no way I can overclock my fsb as high as I can with the pc3700. Or am I wrong??
