hmmmm my friend and his brother have the same spec pc.. but his brother has generic ram and my friend has Kingston (think im allowed to mention it..) and his brother is convinced that his pc is faster as his generic memory is set up in "Dual-Channel". now i know that dual channel is going to increase performance.. but c'mon two sticks of generic 512 in dual channel out performing two sticks of kingston 512..i dont think so. he also said he thought that it would out perform my 1 stick of OCZ 1GB.

please tell me that we're right and branded ram > generic..

im a memory trainee... but im pretty sure it depends on a lot of other stuff to... CPU etc

also, how are you measuring the performance ? lol or is it just a case of " mines better than yours" lol

is bboth the kingston AND the generic runnign in dual hannel mode ?
do you know the Mzh's and timings of the RAM ??
these all affect it m8

the branded memory isnt in dual channel and it is indeed measured in "mines better than yours" tests :p
 
Download SiSoft Sandra 2005 SR3 Lite and run the Memory Bandwidth benchmark. This will show timings and memory bandwidth... then post the results here :).

Generally generic = loose timings. Branded = better quality, often tighter timings. Dual channel = better than single channel by about 5-10% on A64's, but about 15-20% (I think) on Intel's (bandwidth very important on Intel's).
