I am building a computer. My mobo is an Asus A8V Deluxe Via Socket 939 ATX, which is dual channel.
My question is, what is the difference in buying dual channel ram vs just two of the same?
I can find two 512 mb for $59 each ( after rebates) or one dual channel pack for $160.
Also, what about brand? PNY vs Kingston vs Mushkin vs Corsair etc.
I am looking for a total of 1 gig and a memory budget of about $180. This computer isn't a all out gamer's computer.
Thanks,
