On boot up the bios boot screen should read "Dual Channel enabled" unless you have "splash screen" enabled from bios.

If it doesn't you should put only one memory stick in first beige slot and one in first black slot and the bios boot up screen should read "Dual Channel enabled".

If it does you should notice some kind of improvement.

A watt equal amps times volts so they are equally important.

I went to bios on a dell xps 400  and DDR 3.5gig  at 400mhz  and the bios screen (f8) says single channel.  Should I increase aperture to 32mb?  Clock latency is 3, system bus at 200mhz.

I just blew up stuff offline with rockets and bombs, which frame rate dropped considerable, choppy!  Anyway to avoid the choppyness?  Don't want to buy anything more.

Well, thanks in advance...

Had a heck of a time getting it to work with my new SATA drive. My XP CD from 2002 did not have any service packs. Long story, but my new rig is up and running. :) Only took 3 weeks  :O and a lot of help from squadies.  :cool:

Thanks for the replies.  :salute
