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.

Do the two off them run in Dual Channel or Single channel? The new matched pair should be fine but maybe the one old one and one new one are not fully compatible. Some AMD systems have trouble running 4 modules, especially if they are double sided.

I wonder if a BIOS update would help this situation.

Here's a common issue that Athlon64 boards have: http://support.asus.com/faq/faq.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=A8N-SLI Deluxe
