dual channel ram

Comment:

hi the floppy works great, and xp all setup now, but now i have a question about ram.. i have 2 512MB Geil RAM sticks i got in a dual channel kit (to have 1gb) but when i run sisoftware sandra to get info about the mainboard (asus p4s8x-mx), i notice that it reports that i have only 1 memory channel! does this mean that my dual channel kit is not running in dual channel? Custom Build: Pentium 4 3GHz 1MB L2 1GB DDR400 2-Channel RAM 2x80GB WD SATA HDD RAID0 DVD+/-RW CDRW DVD-RAM

The P4S8X-MX is a low performance/low budget board based on an SiS chipset. Dual channel mode is NOT supported.

And it means your dual channel memory kit is running in single channel mode.
