What exactly is a dual channel kit? Is is just 2 sticks of the same ram rather then 1?
Or is it some special type of Ram? |
Good choice
And yeah a dual channel kit is a matched pair of dimms, you can run dual channel with none matched pairs but it just makes things more simple for stability and performance to have them matched. You could always get the 512mb dimm now, setle for single channel until you can afford another dimm and have a 1gb dual channel setup, but there are significant performance gains to be had from dual channel, it's the main advantage of socket 939 over 754, for instance a 2.2ghz S754 chip is rated to 3200+, a 2.2ghz S939 is rated to 3500+ thanks to the extra memory bandwidth.
