I got a K7N2G-L from MSI, (nforce2)
and of course its FREKIN picky on what ram I put in the dame thing,
so I load the newest BIOS and it started accepting more types of memory
BUT before that, it only accepted 1 stick I had,
NOW ive got a question, it BEEPS when ever I reset it, or control alt delete it, and then doesnt boot up, just beeps when I turn it on every time, so I took 1 stick of ram out, and it SELDOM does it with 1 stick, but almsot always with 2 sticks in
like seriously WTF!!
Also, im just going to buy 2 identical sticks of memory, to hope it cures it,
so is their any particular order the ram does in to be dual channeled???
Cuz I used sisandra, it said I beat RDram @ 800mhz, with only 1 stick of ddr ram, and a BIT faster with 2 sticks, so does it dual 1 stick??? or do you need 2? and if u need 2, what banks do they do in??
I know my ram reads like this
1st slot, 0,1 bank
2nd slot 2,3 bank
3rd slot, 4,5 bank,
so im almost positive it duals 1 single stick on its own,,
some one clear this up with me please

Is this Low Latency Corsair RAM? Corsair especially is really picky because most of the modules designed to run at CAS2 WILL NOT run at CAS 3 (could be default)
What I have to do even now, every time I reset my BIOS, is put in my older PC2100 RAM on the first boot to set the CAS latency down to 2.5 from 3...then I'm able to boot with my good RAM

Well, no, it doesn't. Dual channeling is active when you use:
Slot1+Slot3 (Slot3 being the one with a lil more space between itself and the other 2 Slots, and possibly w/ a different color)
or:
Slot2+Slot3
while
Slot1+Slot2 (or any Slot alone, obviously) give you single channel mode.
hope I could help you in any way.
according to Corsair slots 1+3, 2+3, and 1+2+3 will give you dual channel support. I have one 512mb stick of XMS PC3500c2 each in slots 1 and 3 of my A7N8X deluxe rev 1.04. I'm adding another stick to slot 2 in the near future.
An interesting sidenote to this, also from Corsair: with VIA KT333 chipsets you will get the best performance by using slots 1+3 ONLY. My Gigabyte GA7VRXP is running 2x 512mb XMS PC3000c2 in slots 1+3. I tried this tip and my proc temp dropped 6 degrees under full load (T-bred B XP2100+ @150fsb=1950mhz) and there is a noticable improvement in performance. Corsair said this is because of how the chipset works. Since they know a lot more about this than I do I believe them...
