Ia m buying Z68 motherboard,had a few ram queries



1)Does Dual channel requir you to plant DIMM's in alternate or consecutive slots?

2)What does Dual channel really do? - i think it provides more bandwidth with 2 slots taking advantage

3)if it provides more bandwidth,what would be the difference between dual channel motherboard with 4 ram slots compared to quad channel motherboard as even in dual channel we can plant 4 ram sticks?
 
1) each motherboard is a little different. The manual for the board will tell you the needed setup for itself.

2) it just allows atleast two sticks of ram to communication with the rest of the system at the same time.

3) Quad channel motherboard allows 4 sticks to talk at the same time. 4 sticks in a dual channel board still only allows a maximum of 2 sticks to communicate at the same time.
