I have recently seen ram advertised as Dual Channel, is this a marketing ploy to get me to buy as I was under the impression as long as ram was paired (same size, etc) in the correct slots on the mobo it would run on Dual Channel anyway.
I currently have:
2 x 256mbs of ram in slots 1 and 3
1 x 512mbs of ram in slot 2
I used a program called CPUZ to determine whether they were running in dual channel and it said they were, they seem to be working fine as I have no probs running games such as NFSMW and BF2 (other than a bit of lag I put down to my graphics card). Could this configuration cause probs??
I know that it is best to have same size ram and same make, blah blah blah, but best I can do at mo, any suggestions.
