Hi Im Kostas From Greece . Just join the forum ! 
I have a Dual Channel problem !
I wonder.... you get a mobo with DualChannel and you get DualChannel rams.
a pair of 1gb 1066mhz and you install them in bank 0 .
then u get a pair of 512mb 1066mhz and u install them in bank 1 .
Now u r DualChannel Ready.
Dual channel gives u better performance by up to 50 % maybe ? right ? somethin like that i think . Its like the dual core prossecors . yes u have two cores but u dont have two prossecors . a core 2 duo 2.4ghz doesnt perform like two pentium 4 2.4ghz . u just get about 40% maybe better performance .
( dual core is a joke )
anyways . dual channel just gives u some more performance.
But what happens exactly . u have two rams 1gb and two rams 512mb . the 512mb make the system dual channel . whats my RAM amount ? 2 GB or 3GB ? do the 512 count in my total amount or the re just there to increase the systems performance ? whats goin on ? i have 2gb in dual channel or i have 3gb in dual channel ?
Now if i buy a 1gb kit dual channel ram ( 2x512 ) do i have dual channel yes or no ? or is it my ram supports dual channel but i dont have dual channel cause i dont have the setup cause two 512 cant work in dual channel ?
I never seen a computer on the market with 1.5 gb ram ( dual channel 1gb in bank 0 and 512 in bank 1 )unless of course one 512 is in bank 0 and the other one in bank 1 - but is this possible can u use two 512 in dual channel?
i think u need rams with different capacity for dual channel . one (or two ) 2gb and one ( or two ) 1gb or 1gb and 512mb or 512 and 256 etc.
Its seems that if u want dual channel u must built your pc part by part and not buy one with dual channel rams that are not in dual channel setup.
