I just bought another stick of 512 DDR pc3200. I put it in. But it won't run in dual channel. I figured it would just auto set it to that but it wasn't the case. I have a asus a7n8x-x mobo and nforce 2 chipset. Please help
 
Are your 2 sticks of memory the same Brand?
Same type?

That is usually the problem. - different types 3200/3500

Some brands don't play well with others.
 
I know they are the same brand. I don't think they are the same speed. Which i have just read else where that it will not work then. One other question. If it's not running dual channel, is the other stick of ram not getting used?
 
I'm not sure.
Run Sis Soft Sandra & take look in there.

Or on boot up it'll say at the top of your screen if it's running Deul channel or not.
