    Ok, so this is my mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157081
    this is the RAM i have now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145026 (2 sticks)

    my system is running in Dual Channel mode, but these arent dual channel memory sticks.. my question is, would i be better off sticking with getting 2 more of these sticks i already have in my system since they seem to run ok in DUAL, or should i add another type of actual DUAL CHANNEL memory sticks.. or would that funk up the systems ability to use all 2 gb in dual mode.. my plan is to up it to 2 GB Total. thanks for the help in advance!

    Get the RAM you have right now. Don't get Dual Channel because your motherboard does not support that and it will not work. I don't know how you thought or where it says that its running in dual channel mode.

    ok, well, i got the same ram i did before, but on bootup my bios stills says Dual channel Mode.. so i think it DOES support it.. why else would it say that?! anyway, my timings are 2.5-3-3-8 2T, is that decent? used to be 1T, but froze on bootup once i put these others in.. so i had to set it back to AUTO in bios... thanks

    That board does support Dual Channel. Even says so right on the board itself next to the ram slots.
