My CPU can't run dual channel.

[shadowbt]

On my build my CPU doesn't support dual channel ( E6550), does that mean my RAM will not work? does that mean i have to have a single ram chip instead of 2? I got that from the RAM 101, but because the thread is closed is that up to date information? does anyone know if Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Dual Core Processor supports dual channel?

Its not the processor that supports Dual Channel its the motherboard. The Gigabyte in your setup supports dual channel. I dont think there is a Core 2 board that doesnt support Dual channel

I hope your right, but whats this then :
Can I Run My Machine in Dual Channel?
Dual channel support is dictated by the chipset or in the case of some setups, the CPU

On Intel its the chipset , on AMD the memory controller is on the processor.

E7500, E7501, E7505, E7205, E7525, E7520, E7320

Those are actually server chipsets not CPUs.
