i have tried to put the memory in slot 3, where as I have 4 slots in total, I have also looked in the Bios steup, and there is no option to enable dual channel, but I have changed my memory shared to 128, thanks for the info on that, just trying to work out how to get the dual channel to work??? As it is still saying single channel!!!

Even though the memory chips don't have to be specifically designed for dual channel they do have to be identical i.e. same model, size, speed, latency. so even if two modules have the same specs but aren't the same model they won't work. and if there the same model but different latency they won't work. That's why companies will sell chips in pairs specifically for dual channel, because they have been tested as a pair. other wise its complete chance as to whether you buy to chips that will work together or not.

You have to put two identical (or as identical as possible) memory sticks into two like-colored slots, to enable dual-channel. The end.

You need two separate (but identical) memory sticks.
Read the manual to find which slots to install them.
