Solved: dual channel or not

Hi. I previously had in my system a matched pair of 512 MB Crucial Ballistix PC3200 dimms on an ASUS A8n sli deluxe.One of them crapped out. I've just bought another matched pair and a single module to bring the total up to two gigs. The system now tells me I have these running in single channel only. As far as I know, all four modules are exactly the same spec, manufacturer, etc. If I run only the two new dimms it's dual channel fun. Any suggestions? Cheers.

Pull the 2nd chip of the two that work fine in 1 and 3 and then try replacing the chip with first one and then the other odd chips and see if all 4 will run dual channel as long as 1 and 3 are used without 2 and 4. Whew, confusing to type.

EDIT: To clarify I'm saying run only slots 1 and 3 but this will test all 4 chips for dual channel capability which I don't see you've done above.
