They definitely have to be certain slots as well. I had to check my Motherboard manual to ensure I got the right two. I believe I chose slot 1 and slot 3, as this let me have more air-space between my sticks for cooling. :)

No.. I pretty sure can have DC with 3 sticks. currently I have 2x256mb in slot 1 and 3. Remember the slot 1 &2 are Single Channel, put that 2x256mb in slot 1 and 2, then the 512mb in slot 3,
I think you will have 1gig of mem in DC...
if that doesn't work I'll put the 512mb in my kt400 rig:rolleyes:

dual means two, and dual channel means 2 channels
dual channel can only opperate with 2 sticks of ram in 2 specific slots, each one with it's own channel. if you have 3-4 slots on your mobo and have ram in all of them, then you are running a lot of memory in single channel mode. Even if you are only using 2 sticks, but have them in the wrong slots, you are still running in single channel.

Dual channel means 2 channel and that doesn't mean you can only put 2 sticks, why didn't they make 2 slots only rather than 3 then?? and why is there 2 slots for single channel?

there is more than 2 slots so people can get more than 1 GB of memory in their sytem if they need it...you could get 2x gig sticks but it would cost a fortune
