I was just wondering if anyone here knows how to configure a P45-UD3R based system to work with 3 sticks of RAM? All ram is exact same brand/specs, but booting the system up with all 3 inserted causes no-posting. Do I have to buy another stick and be out the .75GBs(using XP) just to enable the dual channel?

Thanks

Are you sure all the RAM is working properly and is it seated properly. IIRC putting 3 sticks in should just default to single channel and run as normal. I think only the new chipset for the i7 is capable of running 3 sticks in triple channel mode. For dual channel you need even numbers of sticks.
