hey everybody. I was running 4 sticks of 2 gb of ocz ram for a total of 8 gigs on my sister. I had an old 4000+ processor. The RAM was running dual channel at 800 mhz. I upgraded my processor to a Phenom II 720. Unfornatualy, the memory started to run in single channel or unganged mode. I bumped the speed up to 1066 mhz.
Ok, well I guess I can remove two of the sticks and run 4 gigs in dual channel. My question basically is with 8 gigs, is there a noticeable difference between dual channel and single channel mode? The dual channel is only supported at 800 mhz I do believe but with only 4 gigs....however, I can run the single channel 8 gigs at 1066. Thanks for any comments.
