2GB of RAM situation.

[RicoDirenzo]

Dual channel needs pairs.

Do some reading....dual channel needs match pairs of RAM sticks. It depends on the config for the manufacturer. Most current DC mobos have color coded slots. Intel boards generally require the sticks to be cross slotted (one stick in each matched paired slot in the same realtive postiion). you can run dual channel with 2 or 4 sticks to the limit of, generally if the mobo has 4 slots, 4gigs max.

if i have two identical 256 sticks and one 512 and another 256 can I run dual channel with the identical sticks

No.

When you install 2GB of 512 sticks doesn't it automatically underclock the ram to DDR333?

do some reading? you basically jsut explained what he just said.

But if you have four sticks of RAM wouldn't that force it to run under 2T timings?

once again, LATENCY DOES NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT OR NOTICABLE IMPACT ON FREAKING BANDWIDTH FOR THE LAST TIME...but yes, they should be forced to disable command per clock

Alright, he's gonna go ahead and get 2x more 512mb sticks.

Sorry for the double post, read my next post. For some reason I don't have permission to delete my own post...

never use 3 sticks... use 2 or 4
