Does my motherboard support Dual Channel?

unfortunately you have to use triple channel memory for all of the x58 platforms. dual channel DDR3 will not work.

that cant be right..the product website says it supports dual channel ...i just want someone to let me know if they think my RAM will be supported (to the best of their knowledge)..my ram is not listed on their memory compatibility list...but the same company is...and you gotta keep in mind that they probably dont update it frequently enough to have every single compatible ram on there..

so yea, i know for a fact dual channel does work--but does anyone think my ram will?

Here is my motherboard-ASRock X58 Extreme (LGA 1366): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813157163

Here is the motherboard product web page: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview. [...] Extreme&s= (Here they have a memory list where they seem to indicate dual channel is supported. My specific RAM is not listed there, but the same company is..I suspect they do not update it frequently enough to list every single compatible RAM)

And here is the 2x2gb RAM I am using: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820145263

Yes, it is completely right. I am looking all over that page and it is giving no indication that it supports dual channel memory. Because it doesn't. Memory channel supported: Triple. That's it.

"■Supports Triple Channel DDR3 2000(OC)/1866(OC)/1600(OC)/1333(OC)/1066 (6 x DIMM slots) non-ECC, un-buffered memory, Max. capacity up to 24GB"

It says nothing about dual channel memory on either Newegg or the manufacturers site. Besides, there is not an x58 platform out there that supports dual channel memory.

Your memory WILL NOT work.

*Note1: Dual Channel: V = supports 2/3/4/6 modules

There you go. That is a list which contains over 100 supported dual channel for the ASRock X58 Extreme

Seems chris is confusing dd3 with ddr2

no, i am completely aware of the differences between Dual and triple channel DDR3. I am also aware that DDR2 is a very different ballgame.

but this is now intreguing...
