612881	2007-11-19 03:17:00	Just bought 2 x 1GB of Kingston KVR400X64C3AK2/2G dual-channel DDR RAM for this ASUS P5GD1-Pro machine. This machine is currently having GEIL 2 x 512MB DDR400 dual-channel of memory. Inserted in the new pair of RAM into the 2 available RAM slot, turned ON the PC, the fans spin OK but no beep and no output to the monitor. Removed the existing GEIL sticks of RAM, inserted in the new Kingston RAM, it works fine. Inserted the GEIL pair into the available slot, turned ON, nothing happens. What could be the problem? For sure, all the RAMs are OK as demonstrated above. Are they not matching? Or, the slots are faulty? Please advise.	bk T (215)

And, they work fine alone (same brand), i.e. either 2 x 512 Geil or 2 x 1 GB Kingston. Are they particular about different brands?	bk T (215)

612885	2007-11-19 04:35:00	Managed to get another 2 sticks, one kingston and the other Transcent - bothe 512 MB. Put in and they worked quite happily with the 2 x 1G Kingston! Am now getting 3 GB of RAM. But, how do I check whether it's Dual-Channel or not?	bk T (215)
