Hey guys,
The motherboard I am going to be getting [The MSI Neo-2 Platinum] has 4 memory slots with dual channel capability. I've never worked with Dual Channel before, so I have a few questions.
1) The size. If I am running 2 512mb PC3200 DDR Sticks as 1 channel, will I be using 1024mb of memory? Or will my system see 512mb?
2) If the system will be seeing 1024, will (1) 1024mb PC3200 Chip be better than (2) 512mb PC3200 Chips as a channel?
What are the distinct advantages of using dual channel compared to single channel?
