I'm sure that it does mention in the manual but I can't be bothered looking it up...

Anyway, 1&2 are on 1 memory controller & 3 is on the other.
So either 1 & 3 or 2 & 3.

try it. if you got the right ones it'll say "Dual Channel Enabled" or words to that effect when it boots

Need to whack them in 2 and 3. Set the divider to 6/6 and the top RAM timing to 11.

DIMM Slots 2 and 3 are the Dual DDR on my NF7-S for deffo

Huh, and heres me with mine in 1/2, I really should do more of this manual reading lark

[andybasford]

I think it should pop up as default on most recent motherboards as they ship with a later BIOS (if they're in the right slots that is)

[Kezzer]

Well i know mine is 2 and 3 because it tells you when the system is starting up and i went from 1/2 to 2/3 and i gained over 2000 more 3d marks

I'm 1/3 now and yes it did say something was enabled...
Just off to run tests n stuff, see the difference...

Guys, either 1+3 or 2+3 will give you dual channel.
