Hi all, it's been awhile...
Anyway, I got a Kingston value 512Mb dual-channel PC3200 set from a friend recently, and my old Crucial 256Mb PC3200 stick has just been lying around in its case.
Always eager to boost my computer's performance, I couldn't help but wonder whether the extra 256Mb RAM would give a better performance jump than just going to dual-channel.
Also, there seems to be no clue anywhere as to whether i'm even in dual-channel mode, so in the case of not being in dual-channel mode, the extra 256Mb could only help.
So, I have two questions:
1: 512Mb dual-channel or 768Mb regular DDR?
2: how can I even tell i'm in dual-channel mode?
