Dual Channel DDR

[MageBeowulf]

Hi there,
I'm running a pair of 400 Mhz Corsair TwinX DDR3200 RAM with a motherboard compatible with dual channel mode. I was wondering if I need to specifically enable dual channel mode in the BIOS or if it is done automatically. Thanks,
My mobo is a Aopen AK79D-400 MAX

It's automatic, just put them in the right slots. Must be in slot1 and the other in slot3 for dual channel to work.

Not necessarily.

on my A7N8X, it states in the manual:

To enable dual channel, you either put memory in slot 1+2, 1+3 or 1,2 and 3

So my guess is, as long as ya use more then 1 stick, DC-DDR will be enabled.

the two cards must be placed in the proper slots, usally desnigated by color, blue and black, follow the manual for the proper ones.

thats the thing, it doesn't state in the manual it just says it can do dual channel

Run cpu-z, look under the memory tab, and it will indicate your ram status

with cpuz, under memory tag, there is something call performance mode, how do you enable this? cuase mine says disabled, thanks for the reply.
