I was looking at so ram articles and notice that in the picture the stick were in slot 1 and 3, in more then one picture. So heres why I think its odd because I have mine in slot 1 and 2 as the manual stats for dual channel slots 1 and 2 or 3 and 4(had to double check myself). So which way is the norm for dual channel?

They are usually color coded. And its usually slots 1+3 , and 2+4 for dual channel. IIRC

^^ Your right. That's the correct way for AM2+, AM3 boards afaik.

^^ Your also right, but that only applies to intel boards.

ive had boards that the manual said duel channel works this way when in fact cpu-z and bandwith testing said it worked the other way
so the only way to know is to try both ways and check with cpu-z

whatever happened to the bios telling us when we run duel in the cmos post screen like on the a8n sli
