Hi there was wondering if anybody could tell me whether it would be better to but two sperate 512mb ram sticks and run them in dual channel mode or buy a single 1gb stick?
thanks
Performance wise, it would be better to run 2 sticks of 512mb assuming your motherboard (or CPU depending on your system specs) supports dual channel ram configs.
hey guys thanks for the info! Im going to be running some pretty intensive media apps so I need all the peformance I can get. Will dual channel be usefull for video editing etc? thanks
And if you have an Intel Pentium 4 CPU, dual channel RAM is really recommended. If you have an Athlon 64, is not that important, but can be useful for video editing.
