Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 Question

[Breck Fontaine]

Hello,

I built a Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 (nForce3), AMD Athlon 3200+ 64
Bit, and 1.5mg PC3200. This is my first time building a system. It
runs fine but I have one question. The motherboard supports dual
channel memory (And the processor, or I thought it did) but the board
or bios is showing it as running single channel memory. If someone
could explain this as correct or lead me to a webpage or something.
Any help would be appreciated.

Look on page 15 (Dual Channel Memory Configuration) in the manual. You
have to install identical DIMMs in the same colored sockets.

I followed the manual and have identical Infineon memory installed. I
just downloaded the newest BIOS update from Gigabytes website and that
fixed the issue, whatever it was. Thank you for your help.

I have almost the same mobo,
it has option in BIOS to enable or disable dual channel, however with my
current bios firmware (F5) dual channel does not work properly, when enabled
it causes BSOD all the time, so it is disabled

Hello,

The only time that happened to me was when I used 2 sticks of
different memory. Example, one stick was the corsair brand and the
other was the crucial brand. They were both the same size memory, they
just did not work together. Changed to two of the same kingston
modules and they worked okay. Just weirdness!
