I recently purchased a MSI K7N2 motherboard and it supports Dual Channel. Having never had the chance to run in dual channel before, i was delighted at the possibilities. However, i have only 1 stick of generic PC3200 made by SpekTek (the timings provided by spektek of 5-2-2-2.5 don't work... so i leave it at motherboard default). I went to the local PC Hardware shop, and asked about what they had that would be good for a Dual Channel Setup. I was told by one of thier in house techs that since i already had 1 stick of 512Mb... that i would need only 1 more, and to set them up in dual channel at the speed of the slower stick. Is that correct?
When he told me that, i got one of those 'spidey sense' tingles that something was wrong there. Was I told right? I am holding off the purchase because I want to make sure I was told right, and because my funds are a bit low now.... (30 cents in checking!!!! OMG)...
