Alright, not dealt with computers in nearly two years and have a question on some parts I've ordered as I'm a bit unsure as to what I've done.
I ordered 2 X 1GB Patriot Signature Line sticks of PC3200 for the dual core rig I'll be putting together in a couple months. The board, which I'm still a bit undecided on, is probably going to end up being the DFI Ultra-D. Now, my problem is that I didn't order a 2GB dual channel kit. I ordered two separate pieces of 1GB DDR. I'm finding now that I may have made a mistake since all RAM is not created equally. I understand how this could cause a problem, but was unaware of it until recently (at least with memory within the same brand, model, etc.).
However, Newegg was decent enough to include the actual serial numbers on my invoice for each stick ordered. It's almost as if they assumed I would be using these in a dual channel setup, so was hoping that this was the case. Serial numbers are 0C1DVI07000017F and 0C1DVI07000017B...pretty darn close.
Anyone foresee these not working in a dual channel? I'm not too interested in overclocking this system once I get it together, but I did want a functional dual channel memory configuration. I guess I won't really know for sure until November, but it has me a bit concerned now :\
