Want to enable dual channel memory, but unsure whether to use the mobo's A1/A2
memory channel pair (which are close together), or A1/B1. A1 and B1 are both
blue and A2 is black.

Using Kingston HyperX PC3200 512-MB x 2 = 1024 mb memory with AOpen AX4C Max II
(875p chipset). Suspect that answer for this mobo may be same as for other 875p
mobo's with similar blue/black (et al) memory channel design.

Also wish to test/verify that the dual channel is enabled. Will be running both
Win XP pro and Win 2000 pro (separate hard disks). Looking for freeware or
Windows utility to benchmark memory and verify enabling.

download little app called CPU-Z, it shows if your memory is running dual channel or not.
