I have a Abit NF7 (non-S) Mobo. I am running a 2500+ @ 10X221Mhz. I was running (3) sticks of 256MB Corsair XMS 2,2,2,6 PC3200. I now have a stick of 512MB Corsair XMS 2,2,2,5 PC3200. I would like to upgrade my memory to 1GB. and still keep the benefits (however small) of dual channel. With only 3 slots I am not sure which sticks to put where. I don't see it covered in the Mobo manual. How do I know which two represent a single channel? Or, which one slot represents the single channel?

Any help/links would be appreciated. I have visited http://www.abit-usa.com/produc...tegories=1&model=8]www.abit-usa.com[/URL], and checked the http://www.abit-usa.com/produc...tegories=1&model=8]online manual[/URL] also (in case of any revisions). When I did a search for the word 'dual', none of the 4 results came up with a suggested layout for memory to support a Dual Channel configuration. Any information would be appreciated. Again, any links supporting what you say will also be greatly appreciated.
