Dual Channel Memory is actually a different type of module and is normally sold in kits of 2, Dual channel is normally used to double the memory bandwidth available to the processor, only select motherboards are capable of this, and requires compatable modules. other wise 1 stick is probably better and cheaper.
I Bought 2 sticks of normal memory, and put them in a Dual channel motherboard and it wouldnt operate in dual channel mode, it still used both sticks, and I still had over 1gb of ram I just didnt see the performance increase Although in myth I dont know if the performance increase is all that noticable in windows in doom 3 it means I get like 99fps at full quality and size with antialiasing vs like 80, On Fri, 17 Dec 2004 19:52:03 -0800, Brad Templeton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, Dec 17, 2004 at 07:03:33PM -0800, nate s wrote: > > I think Kevin's refering to the fact that unless you're buying at > > least 1G, it's cheaper to get one stick of a given capacity than two > > of half. > > I wouldn't think people bought memory in small capacity these days. > Hardly worth the trip to the store, it seems.
