Assuming the MBoard supports dual channgel and DDR2, is it better to use 2 sticks of 256 MB (dual channel) or just one stick of 512 MB DDR2? Which configuration gives better results? |

| 290791 | 2004-11-14 03:35:00 | Sorry, it should be 2 sticks of DDR (2 x 256) dual channel vs 1 stick of DDR2 (512 MB)? | bk T (215) | ||

I reckon 2 x 512mb is the sweet spot for the moment. DDR2 boards are only on Intel with the new chipsets and a system like that would be quite expensive because you'd have to upgrade your CPU, RAM, Video card (PCIe) and motherboard all at once! You interested in that are you? |

Well if you only put in 1 stick then it wont be dual channel and you will lose the speed you would have got if it had been dual channel. You need to get 2 sticks otherwise they are just expensive singles. |
