Is dual channelling automatic?

Self explanatory question I guess. I know, I know, I'm a newb, but I'm more of a gamer than a techo guru. I guess that's why I'm here, to learn.

Yes. As long as you put the ram in seperate banks.

Don't you have to make sure the option is 'On' in the BIOS?

In my case, it's a no. The Phoenix BIOS being used by Soyo 865PE Plus Dragon 2 automatically enables dual-channel mode during POST.

Dual-channel is so awesome. I get 3.808MB/s of memory read speed and 1800MB/s of memory write speed (according to Aida32 v3.80). According to Aida32's chart, my memory write speed is at top even beating out the Athlon64FX 3200+(1750MB/s) and the P43.00HT Intel D875PBZ (1750MB/s) set up.

In the memory read speed, 3 set-ups beat mine: Athlon64FX 3200+(5400MB/s), P43.00HTIntel D875PBZ (4880MB/s), and the P43.00HT Albatron PX865PE Pro (3980MB/s).
