Memory/Dual Channel Question

[Evergreen]

Alright...

I have this ram, and I want to upgrade to 2 gigs soon, but I'd like to shave off whatever money possible... So, I was wondering if Dual Channel would still be possible with a different model of ram ie. this

I'm fairly sure I can buy it and still run dual channel; however, i'd like some confirmation.

Thanks

I have that exact same chip and have been wanting to get another chip to run on dual channel and.......HOLY **** ITS ONLY 99.99


But yes you probably still can

 

[Nagasama]

yes, you can.

Yep...you can run dual channel, because it matches your current ram's, timing and speed.

What exactly is dual-channel, I'm getting it but I don't even know what it is.

It's a motherboard technology, that doubles the data transfer of RAM.

you would only be saving like 5 bucks why not just go with the same chip so you know for a fact there will be no problems
