Quick Dual Channel DDR Question

[Wyck]

I know that DIMMs in general are "Dual" in design... but do you need two of them for a dual channel setup like on an NForce2?

yep. slot 1 & 3 or slot 2 & 3.

Yes, you need two DIMMS for dual channel.

Do note, however that Dual Channel on the Nforce2 gives you VERY VERY little performance difference. I benchmarked a 2% difference on my NF7-S 2.0 using 1 512MB stick versus 2 of them in dual channel.

 

[Doh!]

You can use all three slots & still have dual channel.
