Single channel?

rodo · 25 Nov 2008 at 18:08

Ok, complete noob question but I'd quite like to know

Given I am running this RAM HERE

Why on CPU-Z validator HERE does it describe it as 2048 MB DDR2 Single Channel? Shouldn't it be dual channel?

What does the memory tab say?

Make sure you've got the modules both in the same colour slots. Put one in the slot furthest to the left and then the other module in the other slot that is the same colour as the first one (If that makes sense).

Your motherboard manual will tell you which slots you need to use for dual channel mode.

Ah thanks. I put them both in same colour and now running 'Dual Symetric'

Set up and validated - slightly confused why it says RAM is 6400 despite running at the higher rate which it is graded for...

EDIT: googled and see that's normal for lots of people
