I have Asus K8v mobo ( not deluxe , just the basic )

http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=K8V&langs=09#

Im not sure if it supports dual channel memory . i tried looking on forums and most of the discussions was regarding the deluxe version of the mobo .

Also currently my ram is in the yellow slot next to the blue slot …
if i get a new ram chip , should both ram chips be in 1,2 or 1,3 or 2,3 slots
(blue = 1 yellow = 2,3 ) :S

put one in blue, the other in any of the yellow. simple!

Edit: Its not dual channel since its socket 754!

@puns

firstly this mobo has just 3 ram slots and i havent seen a mobo with 3 slots
having dual channel support.A dual channel mobo has 4 ram slots thats
the primary indication according to my exprience.

also went through the asus specs it doesnt mention anywhere that it has
support for dual channel

I think it doesnt have support for dual channel.

isnt that a socket-754 board? IIRC, there is no Dual Channel available for socket-754

A7N8X Deluxe => 3 ram slots + dual channel

EDIT:

damn i see chaos beat me to it again.. lol..

I always thought that 3ram slots = no dual channel
Thanks for correcting my view.

But the board under consideration[Asus K8v] doesnt support dual channel.

In this case its not the board its the CPU that doesnt support dual chanel.
all 754 dont have suport dual chanel.

well, my ASRock i65 GV - 2 RAM slots, still dual channel support :wink:

OT:
@Rave
Changed your board? Congats :slight_smile: is it better than the GBF?

11

nope.. thats his 2nd rig..

12

yup, thats RIG 2, refer above link that i gave…

Its good for what i paid for it man, 3.64 GIGz is what ive achieved with it usind a cel 2.4. considering it has onboard IE2 video, its a steal, and not stability problems uptill now…

What link?
nice overclock.
wont it be a better idea to use the p4 on this mobo and over? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Well, PC =Personal Computer, and i dont want the rest of my family members to mess with my personal space, every time my sis sits, she’ll just change some settings here and there which is really annoying to say the least :stuck_out_tongue:
