Dual channel is really dual core memory banks where these days DDR memory modules are placed into two separate banks. Identical memory modules are recommended for each bank for brand, size, chips and speed. -------Original Message------- From: Norm Higgs Date: 12/09/06 09:03:45 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LINUX_Newbies] I am trying to install SUSE LINUX 10.1 from DVD

I wasn't aware of any motherboards that REQUIRE dual channel memory - its generally an option that is automatically enabled when identical sticks are placed in the appropriate slots. What make and model motherboard is this? I am aware of some older memory types (72 pin SIMMS and RDRAM) that have to be installed in pairs, but thats not really 'dual channel'.
