Yet another RAM question...

[Ranzy]

On Intel and A64 machines there's a pretty big performance gain yes.

hye folx, yet another question from my dull-hardware-oblivious mind.

im getting a Corsair XMS 3200 XL PRO Low Latency Memory Kit. (2 times 512 MB) (if you do some research you'll know why too ;) )
it is designed for a dual channel enabled motherboard, to get maximum capacity. my question:

i don't think i have dual channel. is it possible for the two pieces of RAM to work in Harmony anyway? will it still reach the memory bandwith of 1 Gigabyte?

i thank you fyi in advance

[Ranzy]

Ehm, ofcourse the 2 sticks will work fine, just not in dualchannel. I mean, you answered your own question there...
What rig do you have, AMD or Intel?

[LoneStrider]

Intel. i needed to be absolutely sure.

btw is that a big speed difference or not when i don't have dual channel?
