After running 3d06 i came out with a disappointing score. It's about halfway through the first page in this thread: http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=58543

I did a quick search and compare, found out cpu-z is only detecting my ram as running in single channel. So I checked my mobo manual, and some reviews, and double checked my ram specs; mobo supports dual channel ddr2 800, and ram is ddr2 800

here's my ram: (OCZ2P800R22GK

and here's my mobo: Asus P5B-E

Could I have installed the ram wrong? Or is it a bios setting/volatage setting.

Rest of my specs worth mentioning.
E6600, 7950GT 512mb, WD Raptor 150gb, Antec truepower trio 650 watt psu

All help is appreciated.

if you have four memory slots, put the 2 sticks of ram in 1+3

just seen your board, they are colour coded for matched pairs
