Hi folks, I want to buy a pair of DDR400 1 gig ram chips to put into a dual channel Gigabyte GA-8KNXP motherbaord, but I'm confused by what I see listed. I keep seeing items listed as 2x512, and as far as I can tell they are indeed two separate 512 meg chips, not a single 1 gig chip.
So is there such a thing as 1 gig memory chips? The reason I want 1 gig chips is that there are only one slot on each of the motherboard's memory busses the will work in dual channel mode (are there any motherboards that can use more than one slot in dual channel mode?), and I need two gigs of ram for the type of work I'm doing (3D modeling and visual effects compositing).
So if there are 1 gig chips, can I get some info on who makes them and if you can post any links where I can get them (or if anyone knows of a motherboard that can use multiple chips in a dual channel arrangement).
Thanks for any help with this.
