Hello All!
I have an interesting problem.
I am currently running on AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor (3800+) 2.01 GHz; Windows XP (32 bit). Motherboard manufacturer is ASUSTek (Model: Narra 1.01).
My computer's been running on 2 GB for a few months, so I go to newegg and get myself an extra 1 GB of ram. I put in the new ram, the system recognizes it, however, I do not notice a performance increase. So I ran memtest86+ and it came back with no errors at all. I ran CPU-Z and noticed that my computer is still running on Single Channel (and has not switched over to double).
My memory configuration is like so:
4 Slots:
Slot 1 (Blue Colored Slot): 1 GB DDR2 PC2-4300 (Corsair)
Slot 2 (Blue Colored Slot): 512 MB DDR2 PC2-4300 (Hyundai Electronics)
Slot 3 (Black Colored Slot): 1 GB DDR2 PC2-5300 (Corsair) <-- The new one
Slot 4 (Black Colored Slot): 512 MB DDR2 PC2-4300 (Hyundai Electronics)
Do the blue and black colored slots not indicate double channel? I've also tried putting the 1GBs in slots 1 and 2; and putting the 512s in slots 3 and 4.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. : )
Thanks,
