Motherboard question

[ItHurtz]

Im wondering if there are only 2 ram slots does it mean its not dual channel? With dual channel you need 4 slots right?

You need at least 2 slots to run dual channal however most motherboards have 4 slots with dual channel support

So its probably not a dual channel mobo then? Reason why i ask is i dont know what mobo it has and i just saw 2 slots for ram.

I highly doubt it is. What is the motherboard name and model number?

 

[ItHurtz]

I dont know off hand. It was one of those low line gateway desktops in the micro case. Its 3 years old. I did the scan on crucial.com and it says a different model than what was on the original order form from gateway. Its confusing...

if its that old theres a good chance its not dual channel. any idea what socket the processor is? Socket A? 754? 939?

Your all right, its not dual channel. Thanks for the help!
