Hi Guys
I've just bought this motherboard
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-442-AS
Under ram it says
"Memory: 2x DIMM, max. 8GB, DDR31066,non-ECC ,un-buffered memory with Single channel memory architecture"
I also bought some Corsair XMS3 ram as it was pretty much the cheapest available
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-203-CS
Here it says
"for use with Dual Channel DDR3 Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors"
This could be me being a moron but are the two compatible? Back when i used to deal in computers using "Dual Channel" just mean putting the ram in specific slots on the motherboard, with there nothing different between sticks. I just assumed that the ram would downclock itself to match the max speed of the mobo and that would be that. Am i wrong and theres actually something different in the architecture these days?
