Dual Channel RAM Help

Hi there people

Thought i'd ask for some help, you seem a helpful bunch.

My motherboard has four RAM slots, 2 yellow and 2 blue, i'm currently using 2 x1gb OCZ pc3200 in the yellow slots. This should result in the RAM running Dual Channel? yes?

I also have a matched pair of 2 x 256mb samsung pc3200 sitting in their packaging if i put these in the 2 remaining slots (the 2 Blue 1's) will this still remain in dual channel mode?

thx in advance

Assuming that the yelow slots have the closest slot to the cpu socket then the yellows will be slots 0 & 2, the blues will be slots 1 & 3.

As you are you should be running in dual channel (d/load and run cpu-z if you want to check)

The 256MB sticks will work and you should be able to get dual channel by adding them to slots 1 & 3, just ensure that the 256 sticks can run at the same timings as the OCZ, if not then loosen the OCZ timings.
