Do you need dual channel memory for Dual channel board

[Nyquest007]

I have 2 sticks of 512 kingston value 2700 that oc to 3200 speeds, but will they work in an IC7?

That should work fine.

The memory marketed for dual channel, is the same memory. Just packaged from the same production line, so both sticks have the same characteristics.

Just to make an example:

I bought the XMS PC3200 LL specifically marketed as DC, but would not run as fast as the original XMS PC3200 I bought a few months earlier.

Yeah... supposedly those dual channel kits have been tested... i could only guess if they were... so i don't think it justifies the higher cost for them.

I don't know...I notcied a couple dual kits and they don't seem to be anymore expensive then if I bought 2 sticks separately....

thanks, I like these sticks, they oc well and cheap too. That's really the point of OC'ing anyway, buy low, OC high. Just didn't want to go Dual Channel and have to buy new mem. I getting into the 3d modeling and animation and boy do it hog the mem. hoping the dual Channel helps increase performance.
