How to determine if memory is dual channel or not?

[grizzlyguzzle]

For DDR2-800 memory.. Example - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231085

It does not say dual channel or single channel on the specs. So if I buy 2 sticks of this, will it become dual channel?

mucho gracias.

Any memory can be dual or single channel. Pairs of memory sticks are matched (i.e. two stick from the same production run are packaged together) so that they can be overclocked to approximately the same speeds. But if you buy two unmatched sticks or matched, there will be no real difference. Both will run dual channel.

Also, welcome to AT. :beer:

Oh, and, quick Spanish lesson:

Muchas gracias. You have to pluralize the adjective to match the noun in Spanish, and change it to match the gender, so, o->a since gracias is a feminine word (as) and add an s of your own. This has been spanish one, starring So. 😉
