detecting ddr dual channel mode

[thatguyant]

Hey guys,

Just wondering... how do you tell if your motherboard is running in dual channel mode?

I've got an NF7-S ver. 2 running mushkin 2X256 pc2100 ram. Ya I know it's old, but it's all i got for now until i order some from new egg.

i have that same board with 2X512 pc3200 corsair valueram...when i boot the POST screen says ddr400 dual channel enabled...but that may be different for you depending on which BIOS revision you have

Cool I'll try using that program.

Yeah I just started my comp up again and noticed that screen. It's really quick.. I guess I didn't catch it.

Just curious. I've only got three dimm slots. If I fill the third slot, will it revert the board back to single channel?
