razorbck64 Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Ok here it goes. I bought an EVGA 780i Motherboard. Slot 0,2,and 3 work fine. I put memory in slot 0 and 2 for dual channel. Slot 1 is not working. I put memory in slot 0, 2 and 3 it works. It shows 3g. However it is in single channel mode. My question is should I use only 2g of memory in slot 0 and 2 for dual channel or use all three working slots for 3g of single channel. I am currently in communication with EVGA concerning possible RMA. But until then which configuration would be best. Your input would be appreciated.

Jhester Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) I've seen a lot of toss ups on how superior Dual-Channel is and a gig is hard to sacrifice, but if you're under XP I say go Dual-Channel right now. It will simply be much faster than 3Gb of single. Edited September 17, 2008 by Jhester Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorbck64 Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I am currently using Vista Ultimate 32bit. Would this make a difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhester Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I am currently using Vista Ultimate 32bit. Would this make a difference Well Vista does demand more RAM... If you plan on some more intense gaming in Vista, I say use 3gb. If you don't plan on using memory intensive applications, the speed of the dual-channel should give you some help in applications.
