It is a technology that theoretically doubles data throughput from the memory to the
memory controller.
The motherboard has memory slots and if not using all four slots, then they must be placed in a certain configuration for it to use dual channels.
Your motherboard manual has the configuration of memory and slot placement
for this to work.
If running dual, it is best to buy memory that is designed as a pair or a set
to get the most efficiency, it usually says, dual channel kit.
1 GB. Note that there is no such thing as dual channel memory, although computer stores may sell it as that. The dual channel feature is a function of the memory controller. You need two matching memory modules in order for dual channel to work.
Yes, it will. If you want to use dual channel advantages you have to install the memory in pairs.
Dual Channel
Dual-channel architecture requires a dual-channel-capable motherboard and two or more DDR, DDR2 SDRAM, or DDR3 SDRAM memory modules. The memory modules are installed into matching banks, which are usually color-coded on the motherboard.

This type of memory provides two paths (called channels) to access the memory
# 4 DDR II DIMM memory slots (supports up to 4GB memory) # Supports 1.8V DDR II DIMM # Supports dual channel DDR II 667/533 DIMM # DDR2 PC5300/PC4200 # 512MB or 1GB Modules # Install like memory in each channel for Dual Channel operation # If only 2 DIMMS installed, place in same channel (slot color) for Dual Channel, if installed in adjacent slots, memory will run in single mode.
Dual-channel
Yes, you can but it is not recommended due to requirements of dual (triple, quad) channel memory controller.+1Answers.comAnswers.com.
it will still be 1gb. Dual channel can be defined as 2 RAM sticks that can be somehow virtually made in to "1" ram module and will be working as 1 whole module.
Intel® Flex Memory Access facilitates easier upgrades by allowing different memory sizes to be populated and remain in dual-channel mode.
