Solve : memory question?

1.	Solve : memory question?
Answer» i have a ecs gf7100pvt motherboard. im using the onboard video and was wondering why my kingston kvr800d2k2 2gigs of memory is working in single channel not dual. is it cause the onboard video is taking 256 mb of memory away from one STICK? or is it just the wrong memory for this board? will adding a separate video card allow the 2x1gig sticks to work in dual channel?Are they in the RIGHT SLOTS? On my SHUTTLE motherboard which has dual channel capability & 4 slots, I have 2 sticks in slots 1 and 3. I.e. in different CHANNELS. (The next two I buy will go in 2 and 4.) If I had put them in slots 1 & 2 dual channel would have been disabled. So do you have 2 sticks of identical memory, not both installed on the same channel?
