One, I work with hardware everyday and I've assembled more computers than I can count. Two, Stan, I find your remark pretty offensive, really. Gigabyte, Asus, Intel mobos work by the principle 'same colour == dual channel'. Please check your facts before trying to sound elitist.On 04/15/2010 07:59 PM, Stan Hoeppner wrote:Aioanei Rares put forth on 4/15/2010 3:16 PM: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 oneDIMM in each color slot for dual channel operation, not both DIMMs in thesame colored slots.I believe different manufactures follow different conventions. For some it's the two in same-color slots, for others in different-color slots. When in doubt, check the manual
