Hey all, just building a new pc and I'd like to enable dual channel ddr memory but I'm not sure which dimms to put the ram into to activate this? (or whether it matters at all.)
Here's my mobo
Dimms are listed 1,2 and 3 from top to bottom in the pic.
thanks

im not sure where you getting your memory from or if you already have it - but i find crucial to be about the cheapest out there. just a tip for purchasing :)

Shouldn't the memory and/or the motherboard tell you this answer?

I always put in my ram stuff from left til right. This might be a good question, I built myself a new pc too last month. I just assumed the ddr thing was there by defect as long as you bought ddr ram.

Check the manual for your motherboard, it should tell you there as all motherboards may handle that differently. I have an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe and it will do dual channel as long as the dimms are in 1-3,2-3 slots and not in 1-2. try that, Again check your manual as your motherboard may be different.
By they way what are your system specs?
