View Single Post - Dual Channel Memory?

Doctor Feelgood · Administrator

I would say the kits are generally a marketing gimmick, but they do give you a matched set, which is what you want in dual channel. If you have an existing stick you want to use in dual channel, do your best to hunt down another stick that is the same size, speed, latency, etc... as you will only be able to run as well as the weaker stick if you don't.

I would definitely get two 512's for dual channel over 1 stick to take advantage of the increased bamdwidth / quicker access times!
