I haven't had a chance to buy a new computer in almost two years, but now I think it's time to get a new one. My old one was a 2.4ghz at 3.1ghz, 768mb 2700 ddr ram, 9800 radeon pro. And now I want to go all out on a new one. My only problem is with dual channeled RAM, I'm not quite clear on how that works. Apparently you need to buy two matching pairs, which I have seen for sale on newegg, but say I buy 1gb as 2 sticks of 512mb ram, how does that run? Is it ram as a gigabyte, or simply 512mbs of ram, just sped up? If anyone has a link to a site that explains how dual channeled works I'd really appreciate it.. A bit reluctant to spend money on something I don't understand.
Thanks in advance
