I am having trouble getting my DDR Ram running dual-channel....the BIOS startup screen is reporting, "64-bit Single Channel", and the timings seem way off. I have 2 512MB sticks of Mushkin PC3200, Level 2 (2-2-2 memory). I have one stick in each green slot. What am I doing wrong??

you have to put 1 stick in each color slot (one green and one purple) and then it will work in dual channel mode. i have 2 sticks in the 2 slots right next to the cpu.

MSI is kinda of strange as my ASUS board you had to match the colors to get dual channel mode.

The K8N Neo is a socket 754 board. The memory controller is in the CPU, and all 754-pin processors have a single-channel memory controller.
