I just bought this board and a couple of 512mb pc3200 sticks and I went looking though the bios and I can't find an option to activate dual channel. The sticks are in slots 1 and 3, which I'm pretty sure are the correct slots they need to be in. Does anyone know where or what I need to change in the bios? or does it detect it and do it automatically. Another thing, do those turbo settings in the bios improve gamming like it claims? if so, how much would you say?

For memory timings, I would go higher or use spd and try the 5:4 ratio for cpu:memory. Change your cpu vcore to manual and 1.55 volts, your cpu fsb to 250, and with this ratio, you might be able to run at about 3.2. The board should have the dual channel mode as the default setting. I believe the turbo setting will enable pat (Intel's performance acceleration technology).

Should be running in dual channel mode, it will say so early in the bootup process. Look for it on the screen at bootup, it will also show the speed that your ram is running.
