That is my Mother Board and I was wodnering if it has the cpabilities of dual channel. Im looking for more RAM and I want to get 2 512 MB sticks and dual channel them but I don't knw if my mother board cna handle it. Also when I get the RAM will it have directions on installing it and how do I set it to dual channel if I can.


Thank you.

No i dont think it supports Dual Channel, I think dual channel was just beggining to come out around the 2200+ time, maby later.

Dual channel came out with skt 939 motherboards (as far as AMD goes).

As for RAM, check out www.newegg.com

Elbatrop1 that is incorrect, some socket A motherboards support Dual Channel.

Yeah, what charles said is incorrect....however this isn't the first time I've heard someone state this...I have no idea where people got the idea that dual channel first came out with socket 939s.

It came out during somewhat early socket A days...I'm honestly not sure if the PC SDRAM allowed dual channel, but yeah....dual channel was before socket 939 dude

Ah yes, I stand corrected. I always thought that skt939=dual channel and that all other AMD skt!=dual channel.

A lesson has been learned by Elbatrop1 today
