Question Single Channel 16GB 266mhz RAM vs Dual Channel 32GB (2x16GB) 2666mhz RAM ?

[Raige]

Hello, I would like to know if there is going to be a difference on my pc's performance going from single channel to dual channel with the same ram speed other than it having an additional 16GB ?

What platform are you trying to perform a ram upgrade on? The usual answer regardless of Intel or AMD is yes you up the performance by increasing the throughput.

Dual channel is always better, depending on memory speed, up to 50% memory performance increase.
