Dual Channel Memory

jack-o-bytes · 03-Oct-2009, 06:16 AM #1

Hi, If I buy a motherboard with 4 RAM slots that are 800Mhz ready. Should I fill 2 slots with 1gb modules in each or have all 4 full with 512mb in each. Will this make it work in dual dual channel because I have identical memory in both the 2 yellow slots and 2 black slots? Any help will be great thanks.

Identical memory in both slots of a bank (sometimes the slots of the bank aren't the same color, check the manual) will enable dual channel operation. 2x1 GB is preferable over 4x512MB as it creates less of a strain on the memory controller and you can avoid many issues by doing it that way, as well as having room for an upgrade later.
