Dual Channel RAM and Single Channel RAM

Ameer K.

Hi, I just had a quick question, can dual channel and
single channel DDR400 RAM be used together? or Is it not
recommended? Thanks

Hi Ameer,

There is no dual channel or single channel RAM. This is a property of the
motherboards that support this feature and not the RAM itself. Most of the
new mobos have this feature (you have to enable it via the BIOS) and also
populate the RAM slots in a certain sequence (as specified in the
motherboard manual). Then you can run your RAM in dual-channel mode and is
supposed to give you some "extra" juice out of the ram.

Thanks,

John J
