i currently have 2 gigs of RAM in dual channel. here are 2 screen shots of memory usages. first one is after startup then the second one is with open programs like WoW, Photoshop, AIM, WMP, Firefox Exc. these are programs that i have open all the time.
i would like to buy a 2 gig chip (upgrading to 1g x 2g = 3g total) of ram. but i am worried about losing dual channel if i do this.....
Will losing dual channel support be more of a performance decrease than gaining an extra gig of memory in my case?
when looking at swapfile usage, it seems to be really high!!! this is what i would like to bring down by getting more RAM as well.
