Hey guys
I have a Biostar TA-690G (AMD chipset) with 2x 512mb DDR2 667 ram
How can I get it to dual channel?
Is it possible with 667?

Yeh, its possible.
You will just have to find out which slots the RAM has to be in to run it in dual channel.
Normally they are colour coded.

One in the first orange, and then one chip in the first green should sort you out

Funny, on gigabyte boards it will be the colour matched slots that will give you dual channel. Come to think of it, even Asus works like that.

matrixkid...
Ok, well try BOTH of these ways...one way will work.
You will be able to tell by looking at the POST screen.
The something will change from 64bit to 128bit. Cant remember what it was

128bit will be dual channel, and no its coloured coded two of the same colours.
