[SOLVED] Dual channel possible ? (32 bit OS with more than 4 gb RAM)

[Gebaben]

Hi everyone!

I know that a 32 bit system only use 4GB RAM.
You've already answered in another thread of mine that the OS will just ignore the additional memory.
I know that dual channel gives you a small perfomance boost.

My question is, if someone have 2 sticks of memory (like 2x4gb), but still use a 32 bit OS, will dual channel perfomance boost still "active"?
Or because of the ignoring of additianl memory, the boost will be lost?

You should still see a gain by having dual memory channels (vice a single channel), but not as a result of having more than 4GB of memory.

So the gain is still possible in a 32bit system.

Alright, thank you!
