HI, My m.Board supports dual channel DDR, but the manual is a bit vague...

I understand that a complimentary card in channel B will double the bandwidth, but will this also double the RAM? or is this only if both are in channel A.

The way I picture it - and I may be way off - is the 2 slots of channel A, or B are connected in serial, whereas the channels THEMSELVES are parallel.

I hope that I explained that clearly???!!!???

Thanks in advance, STEVE.

Using 2 x 512mb sticks of ram in dual channel mode will increase the bandwidth but also still give you 1024mb of system ram.

I often explain that dual channel ram operation is a similar concept to RAID-0 with hard disks.

I found this explanation over at PCStats forum

Hope this explains things

Arris, YOU DA MAN !!!

I've learnt more perusing this site than anywhere else... Magazines etc.
