Hi,
As per title really, is there much of a performance gain of using dual channel over single?

Thanks

depends on your ram it never used to be back in the old days.

but with the faster ram of today it might not have the bandwidth needed.

Ah k, thanks for that.

So it seems that while DDR2 is negligible, DDR3 might see a decent boost from it?

Technically it's better but i doubt you'll see any effect.
