Memory specs

[mac173]

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?

Is it one, or two modules? (1 or 2GB total)

 

One, single channel, two, dual channel (if appropriately installed).

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.

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.

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.
