Dual channel question

[palmmann]

just wondering, if i have a 512 stick of memory that says that it is not dual channel compatible, does that mean that even if i get another stick exactly alike it will not run dual channel? link:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820141470R
i already have one, and i was wondering if this would work.

Were does it say that it doesn't support dual-channel?

a sticker on the package.

 

[sniperchang]

thats weird, never saw anything like that before

 

[palmmann]

i thought so too. maybe dual channel and pc2700 do not play nice???

 

[sniperchang]

I guess it's better to go with PC 3200!

 

[palmmann]

i should, but this stuff surprsed me with it's o/cability. it runs over pc3200 speeds fine!

 

[sniperchang]

Or you can get pc 3200, and OC even higher

 

[palmmann]

not the memory that's pooping out, it's the mobo

I think it means that its not dual-channel if you only use that, but if you add another one it should be capable of dual-channel.

that's what i was hoping. i think i'm going to get another. screw it if it's not dual channel.

i doubt seriously that they meant "Not dual channel" since u only have one stick. Even if they bought 2 sticks, most people probably wouldnt even know what dual channel is.

Ive actually seen pretty much that same package at a Best Buy, and laughed my ass off when i read it. and looked at the price...

I'd just try online, buy 2 sticks of some valueram, where u know itll work.
