Dual Channel Mem Question...

[kaiweiler]

and another fact, the two sticks of ram do not even have to be the same!
for example, one stick of 256mb PC2700 will be able to run dual channel with one stick of 256mb PC3200, completley different brands and different speeds. this is providing your motherboard supports dual channel
however if you have two different speeds, your ram will likley run at the slower of the two speeds
in no way do they have to be exactly the same though

Quite so.
They definitely lose their membership in the Mr. Wizard's Future Scientists of America Club.

Death would be an appropriate punishment for spreading inaccurate information so cavalierly.
