410727 2005-12-06 22:37:00 with dual channel memory, is it just the motherboard that has to support the feature, or will i have to go out and buy special ram for it to work? Mirddes (10)
410728 2005-12-06 23:17:00 You need Dual Channel RAM too! SolMiester (139)
410729 2005-12-07 00:12:00 You don't need dual channel ram, Dual channel ram is simply 2 sticks (the same) packaged together, If you buy 2 exactly the same sticks they will run in dual channel mode on a dual channel board.

And sometimes if your lucky 2 sticks from different sources/brands will run together in dual channel, though this is the expection, not the rule,and by a large margin.
