Hello, I have the new Sandy Bridge I5 2500k and cant tell if my memory is running in dual channel . Sisoft says yes and cpuz says nothing . I thought that since the memory controller is on the chip , i should check someplace else . Any thoughts on this one ? my mem is G. Skill Ripjaw 1333 10666 and my mobo is the MSI P76A-GD65 MS-7681
 
If you have an even number of memory sticks (with the same capacity, speed, and timings), and they are installed in same-color memory slots on the board, they are operating in dual-channel.

And CPU-Z isn't always accurate. I have version 1.57 on my Sandy Bridge system, and the memory channels area is blank. They will eventually come out with a version that fully supports Sandy Bridge.
