Question on Chaintech ZNF3-250

[irenealan]

When the system starts up, the Bios read that I am running my 2x512 mb PC3200 ram at 400 FSB? I wonder why? It's not supposed to run at dual channel right?

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

It runs at 400 fsb because it's ddr (double data rate) not because it's dual channel. Dual channel only increases the bandwidth for the memory, and ddr increases the speed.

 

[irenealan]

oh I see but just wonder is Dual Channel really give that much a boost in a A64 system... that's why people waiting for the Socket 954? Thanks.

That's socket 939 - and yes.
