Dual Channel Memory stick

Featured Replies

Anyone knows how to install dual channel memory stick?

Thanks

It'll depend on how your motherboard is laid out. Check the manual and it should tell you where to stick the two sticks to get it to use Dual Channel (some motherboards are colour-coded for the different channels and some can't handle more than a certain frequency in both dual channel setups etc so...).

My manufacture installed them accoroding to the colour pattern.

Do I need to install some programs to run it?

And what exactly the advantage of dual has?

You just put the two sticks into the two slots.

 

If you have 4 slots then you'll probably have 2 in colour and then 2 in a different colour. As dual channel RAM comes in packs of 2 what you have to do is put the two which come together in the same colour slot.

 

The actual RAM sticks are exactly the same as normal RAM, it is the motherboard which is different. With dual channel RAM because you have two seperate RAM sticks you have, effectively, twice the bandwidth, which makes the RAM more efficient and basically faster.

 

Dual channel RAM works best when the two RAM sticks are totaly identical.
