Duel Channel memory advice

[Cyberdog]

HI,
I have an Asus A7N8X - E Deluxe M/B with two 512 sticks of Crucial
PC3200 Ram installed as per the dual channel guide. One stick shows up
as(slot 1) 512MB PC3200 (200MHz) the other shows up as(slot 3) 512MB
PC10000 (624MHz). Is this correct.Thanks

CD,
No, that's not right! Could just be a reporting issue and not a
functionality problem. Try swapping the sticks and see if that weird
indication follows the stick. Might just be a mis-programmed SPD on the
stick, in which case a RMA is in order. If not that, it may be
whatever diagnostic software your using. There's several freebies out
there. Try another.

Hi,
Everything is working O.K. However one stick is single sided and the
other is double sided. This could be the problem. Do they have to be
exactly the same???

no they dont have to be the exact same, thats the beauty of the NF2
chipset, but still, I'd recommend getting matched sticks. was this a dual
channel pair? You could always write crucial and ask/press about a trade
for a matching pair, it does have lifetime warranty.
