hmmmmm. Going purely from memory because I now have an Abit brand board,.....I really think that there IS NOT a particular BIOS setting for that feature.
According to the Asus manual, as I recall, you certainly had to have your two 'sticks' of memory in certain slots. Either slot #1 and #3, or something to that effect. I used 1 and 3 because it allows for air-flow between them for cooling purposes so those are stuck in my head.
When your PC boots up, and you see the "DOS" screen with the black background and white letters mentioning all kinds of stuff, it will say "Using Dual Data Rate memory" or something very close to that.
I recall it being one of the first things to pop up, like within the first 10-13 seconds.

for the asus a7nx, you need to use slots 1&2. do that and
sit back in awe of the 0.5% speed increase the dual channel will
give you.

look at page 1-7. it tells you where you can put your memory for Dual DDR function. Slot 1 and 3, slot 1 and 2, etc.
I had the board, I used slot 1 and 3, and it worked.
Are you sure your memory is identical as mentioned above? (I've forgotten from the older thread) It is required to be identical.
look at Asus board and they can tell you if it's "approved" or not.
PS. I think you'll get a hell of a lot more than a .5% increase in memory speed. I sure hope that was a joke, or typo.
Just use any memory bandwidth test to verify, I did.

Does ASUS A7N8X-X support dual channel memory technology?
Summary : No. Within NVIDIA chipset specification, A7N8X-X supports single channel memory mode. If you want to have dual channel memory support, please purchase A7N8X, A7N8XDeluxe, or A7N8X-VM.(Knowledge Base)

The 0.5% increase was a "seat of the pants" feel.
I traded in my A7N8X Deluxe last month. I tried single and dual mode
and could not tell the difference in use.
Ive got a shuttle sn41g2 with a nforce 2 board dual channel. seems the
same as the asus for peformance. I just like the tiny box. 12x8x7.

you serious NEC'? If you are, that's cool. Just put the big stick in slot 1, as that will be what the cpu uses first. Whats the price difference between that gig stick and the "dual DDR" motherboard? The mem. will be more right?
