I got a packaged MOBO and Memory. This is the memory on the board.
Crucial 1024 No mention of it, so I assume that this is NOT Duel Channel memory? -------------------- P4 3.2 gig 800mhz fsb (BX80546PG3200E)

Is it one, or two modules? (1 or 2GB total)
One, single channel, two, dual channel (if appropriately installed). -------------------- Mine:DFI SLI-DR EXPERT -- Opty 180 + Lapped TRUE -- Patriot 2x1 GB -- XFX 8800GTS 512 @ 700 -- Xplosion WD 80GB (XP MCE SP3) / SG 250GB (Vista Business X64 SP1) -- PCP&C Silencer 610 -- TT Armor -- Sharp Aquos LC-32GP1U 1080p GF's: DFI SLI-D (04/06/2006) -- AMD 3800+ opty heatsink -- Patriot 2x1 GB -- 9600GSO384 -- OCZ GXS 600W Recommended Power Supplies 1 - Recommended Power Supplies 2 - DFI NF4 "proper" CMOS clear - Tmod/Logan's DFI Bios Flash & Utilities DVD |

Lol depends on in wich dimm slots u stick em. Way back when I changed my ram for the first time I didn't know how ram was supposed to be, so I just put them in the first and 3d...I thought it looked cool but my mobo was actually made so that the first 2 and the next 2 were for dual channel so later I figured it out and put em in dual. Of course there is no way to have dual if you have only 1 stick.

Of course there is no way to have dual if you have only 1 stick. I have two sticks, but could not tell if they were duel channel or not. Now that I know, I will buy two more for 4 gigs of memory total. Thought it was odd that the description of the Ram never mentions Duel Channel. -------------------- P4 3.2 gig 800mhz fsb (BX80546PG3200E)

Ok, instead of posting a new topic, I will try to bump this for another answer.
I am shopping for more sticks of the same memory, so it all matches. I find that this memory is not sold in pairs, and is also slower then what my MOBO can handle (800mhz). These sticks go for about $25 each. Am I better off just getting the matching sticks, or should I upgrade to 800mhz memory? Is there a significant difference in performance? I do some gaming but its mostly MMO's and WW2 stuff (Metal of Honor, Call of Duty). I don't want to spend money for nothing. -------------------- P4 3.2 gig 800mhz fsb (BX80546PG3200E)
