Linderman posted this in another topic, Does this mean the CPU has to be at 800Mhz FSB for RAM to run in Dual Channel? My Cpu is 400Mhz, so does this mean my RAM wont run in Dual channel, even though its DDR?

Thanks for your time.

yes that is true. dual channel and DDR are 2 different things.
You have to have a motherboard that supports dual channel and as linderman stated a 800mhz FSB cpu
