Well, I have heard (and discovered myself) that a much higher FSB is obtainable running single channel with one stick of RAM.
Dual channel seems to make very little perfomance difference with AMD systems, and hurts FSB overclocking a fair deal - and I want to raise my FSB a lot more as it is really the only thing I *can* increase with my cooling and processor - I'm topped clock-speed wise.
I have two sticks of RAM - made for dual channel use. But can I run these two sticks in single channel - or is it impossible?
If it is not possible (which I suspect it isn't) Is it worth my time to get a single 512 meg stick of good OCZ Plat BH-5, or Mushkin BH-5 and sell my OCZ EL dual channel kit? Or would the diffrence be negligible, or even negative?
I am kinda stuck between wanting more FSB, and not wanting to sell/trade this RAM
Thanks a lot for any help.
