K8NXP-9 Dual Channel Memory

I have 2 Crucial 512 DDR memory modules in slots 1 and 3. I've just
updated the BIOS to F5 and POST reports "Memory Configuration: Single
Channel 64 Bit".

Shouldn't it be dual channel?

It should be, it means you don't have the memory in the right slots. Check
your manual and how you have them placed. Both modules should be in the
first two DIMM slots that are the same color.

It should read Dual Channel 128bit.

Thanks for that, now sorted.

That threw me too when I first installed my RAM on my mobo. You need to
move the stick in slot 3 to slot 2.
