For example...if you have an Asus P5LD2 (which I do) you get 4 DIMM slots for DDR2 RAM = two pairs of 2 for dualchannel. If you put in one 512MB and one 1GB module and they're otherwise identical, what happens? Dualchannel is disabled, off, zip, nada, no go? Dualchannel is on but only for the first GB (512MB+512MB), the third 512MB is limited to single-channel? All goes to hell?
I did google but found nothing but vague and inconclusive info...but thanks! My curiosity is satisfied.
No disrespect to anyone but I hate when people say that. These forums are for discussion. Who knows when a fresh perspective will arise.
He was not asking for an opinion he was asking for technical info and that would be better obtained through an official source. As good as forums are too much misinformation is spread through them.
