Help with dual channel configuration

[Refwhett]

Hi, I have a Asus P5P800 SE mobo and I have installed 2 crucial 1gig DDR400 units on it. They are recognized and I get a total read of 2gigs RAM.
When I boot the system it says that the memory is in linear mode.
What does that mean? How can I make sure that the two units are working in dual channel mode?
Thanks.

In which slots have you put the ram? Put one stick in slot 1 and one stick in slot 3 see if that does the trick

They are in slot 1 and 3. I don't know that it's not working in dual channel.
How can I be sure about that.
Does "Linear mode" mean single channel?

Download CPU-Z and select the memory tab.

Great, thanks peterdiva. "Channels # Dual"
That settles it. Lots of great info in that little program.
Thanks a bunch.
