No, it means that 2 one-gig modules in same-coloured slots will
theoretically work better. I have one module in a dual-channel mobo and
it works ok. Most desktop/workstation mobos do.
No, that's not correct.  If the mobo DIMM slots are colored, you put one
DIMM in each color slot for dual channel operation, not both DIMMs in the
same colored slots.

This is a very simple concept folks.  If you have two sets of train tracks
you can move twice as many trains from point A to point B in a given amount
of time.  Dual channel memory works on the same principal, doubling the
number of paths to/from memory.

Are you guys displaced Ubuntu users who landed on debian-user after a
tornado came through Kansas?  ;)

You made me dig my latest mobo's manual :) [Gigabyte GA-M56S-S3], which says plainly : "The four DDR2 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following :
Channel 0 : DDRII_1, DDRII_3
Channel 2 : DDRII_1, DDRII_4"

Please refrain from making such "wise" comments as , even if you're right, you're damaging Debian's image and yours.

Cheers,
