Re: RAM running on single channel
I copied this directly from the manufacturer's web page so 800 fsb should be supported:
Dual-channel DDR2 800/667/533

Re: RAM running on single channel
No, you are correct and I deleted my post which was not clear so you would not misunderstand.
When you purchased your ram, did you buy a matched pair?

Re: RAM running on single channel
Some motherboards are more forgiving then others, Nvidia chip sets are very picky about ram, I would change the ram to a matched pair recommended to work in your motherboard by the ram manufacturers configuration utility.
