| 239358 | 2004-05-26 04:55:00 | I have a friends PC company PC here & it was fitted with 2x 256 MB DDR PC2100 Ram,It was running as Dual channel as both sticks were in the same colour slots. Problem is that one stick is faulty & I was wondering if I replace the faulty stick with a different brand & place it in the oposite colour slot will it run ok? I realise to run dual channel you must have 2 identical ram sticks. The PC is not used for gaming Cheers Steve |

| 239360 | 2004-05-26 05:52:00 | If one is faulty, ask if you can RMA both because you paid for dual channel, and if they have to return one stick, then it won't be Dual Channel anymore. | kiki (762) | ||
