I just received my ASUS A7N8X Motherboard and will be receiving my AMD Athlon 2800+ CPU from NewEgg on Monday.

I will be using an AMD approved TAISOL CPU Heatsink and FAN.

What are the correct ASUS Motherboard BIOS Settings to fully utilize the AMD Athlon 2800+ CPU Chip?

I have two sticks of Kingston HyperX PC 3500 DDR RAM which I will be installing in the Memory Slots 1 and 3.

why 1 and 3? if you put them in the 2 Blue ones it enables the Dual DDR? i was told that is the ONLY way to enable that setting..

please let me know if that is incorrect..

Is THG Slightly Slacking??
