I have added 2 gb (2 x 1gb) of dual channel memory, but when I run my benchmark program it shows only single channel memory. I am using the Kingston 2gb dual channel memory kit. Do I need to set a jumper pin to make this work?
This is an older board. The VIA chipset pre-dates dual channel memory support. If your board is working fine, this should not be a concern.
Testimonial: "Helpful and quick response Thanks"
I've seen this problem more than once, rams are rated at 250(256mb), 500(512mb), 1000(1024mb), and 2000(2048mb), these motherboards are rated at 2000mb max, so anything over 2000, it doesn't recognize, it's said, "you can adjust the bios to make it fit, but it's not recomended, due to the fact you can mess up your computer." gig and a half would work, but then you have a slot with 1gig, and the other with half gig, so whats the solution. live with the 1000, and be happy
For dual-channel memory configuration (2), you may:
• install identical DIMMs in all four sockets OR
• install an identical DIMM pair in DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1 (yellow
sockets) and another identical DIMM pair in DIMM_A2 and
DIMM_B2 (black sockets)
* Always use identical DDR2 DIMM pairs for dual-channel model. For
optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules
from the same vendor.
