Dual Channel?

I have two "Generic" (Nanya Technology according to CPU-Z) 512MB DDR 400 RAM sticks in my ASUS K8V SE Deluxe motherboard. I was wondering if it is possible to make them in Dual Channel mode. Is this automatically set? Will there be any/much performance gain by using DC mode?

Thanks.

You can do this through ASP but would have to schedule a task to "browse" a web page every day, otherwise it's possible if you get no visitors fro a few days they would never get the message. I would actually say it's better to write a small VB application that you can schedule to run daily and kick out the reminders. I had a calendering application I made once with reminders and I did the reminders through the VB Application.

In any case, I would add another field (Bit type - 0(No) or 1(yes) value) to the table wih the expire dates and email addresses called ReminderSent (or something similar). You would use CDONTS to send out the email, a SQL statement like:

sSQL = "SELECT Email, Name, ExpireDate FROM MyTable WHERE ReminderSent = 0 AND DATEADD(Day, 15, ExpireDate) > '" & Date() & '"

I will say it MIGHT be possible to write a SQL script to do this as well, unfortunately, all my experience is with CDONTS and VB/ASP
