Yes. The P4P800S-X board is single channel, and according to the
manual, there isn't any distinction between slots.

If the motherboard is accessing all storage devices, there has
to be some working memory on the thing. I still think video
card, video cable, or monitor are at fault.

You have to start swapping stuff if you expect to figure it
out.

Always power down and unplug, before swapping components. The
components are rugged and can handle the little bit of swapping
you will be doing. Handle cards and memory devices by the edges
and not the contacts, to reduce the risk of damage from static
electricity.

If you swap video cards, you don't have to install drivers.
If necessary, you could boot Windows at 640x480 resolution,
long enough to check alternate hardware.
