Thats a good question How can it not 2gig transfer vs 4 gig and so on
But again I think most lag in game is caused simply by just not having enough ram. Take PlanetSide to example it takes up about 900+ mb of ram to run and IS NOT PLAYABLE with 256 and barly is with 512 i dont think that 2gig transfer or 4 gig transfer will help it with 512
but with 1gig its plays just fine (PlanetSide hates to page file)

If you are playing a very demanding game, Unreal 2003 for example, then you could run into a bottle neck in a number of places (video card, processor, memory, etc.). So running DC could be allowing the game to run smoother, but if your video card is not up to par you would not see a difference.
If you took away all other factors and were only looking at memory then the answer would be yes. Having DC would be helpful. More on an Intel board then a AMD, but it would be helpful.
That's interesting... I thought it would benefit AMD chipsets a lot more as opposed to Intels because the quad pumped intels already have super high bandwith already.
Jarlax said:Are you sure that the 2 sticks are exactly the same (size, timings, etc.)? If the sticks are not prefectly matched then DC will not work. At least as a general rule.
Tuhran said:Yep, time to dig deeper, as you say.
And it really would be like me to obsess over the fine details and miss something stupidly obvious. In fact, the next chance I get I'm going to try using the B1/B2 dimm slots, to see if that matters.
I should have done this the first time, but I have a terrible time getting to my dimm slots underneath all the WC tubing, and was grateful just to get them back reseated in their original places.
(laziness) + (troubleshooting) = 0 results.
I'll double-check the manual tonight; thanks for the thoughts...
