Doubble sided and single sided

[nick2150]

whats the difference between Doubble sided and single sided Ram? (the same size andt type of ram BTW)

I have searched and couldnt find anything relevent about it.

Double sided ram has chips on both sides of the memory stick, while single sided ram has ram on only one side of the memory stick.

I forget the technical side of things far too fast.

i believe double sides is 2 RAM banks, single sided is 1 RAM bank. double will run faster, although older motherboards might not accept it. Most DDR is double sided, cheaper brands aren't however.

so if hypethetically, and by hypethetically i mean actually, I had 2 sticks of doubble and one stuck of single 512 ram in my board, would that slow down my doubble ram so that my single ram could keep up, and would i be better off buying a new stick that was double and getting rid of the single??

(p.s. thanks for all the help so far!! )
