RAM

[ziplocpicker]

Why does my dual channel ram show up as single channel under CPU-Z? Is there any way to make it run as dual channel?

Also, my mobile processor doesn't have the 'mobile' designation under CPU-Z either.


Thanks.

You may have to put it in certain DIMMS. Or there might be a setting in your BIOS. Check your motherboard manual.

what are your specs?

Many mobos don't support dual channel, if you have a s754 A64 it does not. Also, it almost always has to go in specific slots.

I checked the mobo manual. All 3 slots (only 2 occupied) are rated for 1 gb of dual channel ram

Read your manual, maybe it'll say you have to put in other slots than the first two. I have four slots and I put mine in first and third to maintain the dual channel.

I just tried slots 1 and 3 instead of 1 and 2, but to no avail. The manual says I have to use slot 1, so there are no other options. Still showing up as single channel...

You should not post this in multiple forums. That's a bozo no-no around here. I've replied to your post in the Technical Support Forum, which is where this belongs.

Sorry about that. Didn't know where it belonged. Thanks for the help anyway.
