changing from single to dual channel ram

[mettleh3d]

Is it possible to flash a mobo to gain dual channel support?

Or is it hardware based? =[

my mobo doesnt support dual

I do not think it is possible, i think Duel Channle is hardware(chipset) based, and if you decide to upgrade to a duel channel memory/motherboard, value ram to get woulld be OCZ, due to it's over clocking abilities: OCZ Value VX(PC 400- OC'ed to PC490*stable*) series, and OCZ Gold "BH5" series are under 150$ candadian(100$USD), and can be Overclocked to PC490 if you can get you ram voltage up to 3.5-3.6V

plain and simple you can not flash the BIOS for dual channel support, this is because dual channel is either native for the Intel chip sets, as the mem controllers are located on the Northbridge .. and with AMD's the mem controllers are on the chips it self.

The main reason the BIOS has updates and therefore needs to be flashed, is because new RAM technologies come out and new CPU's technologies (i.e. a good example the whole Skt939 range) come out, adn also to increase stability of the mobo ... so the BIOS needs to be updated so that it will support the new hardware that comes out, well the new speced hardware, but not new hardware fundamentals as these stay the same on each mobo, as in this case dual channel

cool, thanks for the responses
