Hello guyz...

I'm having 1 GB of RAM. One of my friend suggest me that ti would be more good if I've 2 RAMs of 512 MB. Your computer would have been run faster.

Is it true?

512 MB + 512 MB is better than 1GB ????

Please help...

The logic is that if one gets corrupted or stops working, ur whole computer is not hampered by this. U can just pop out that 512 stick and still work with 512 Ram.

Dont knw the other way..

No Manshania you're wrong..

@shirish

Two 512 MB sticks are good only if your motherboard supports a feature called DUAL-chanel mode.
NOTE:: for dual-channel mode to be effective, the modules must be identical, preferably of same make.

In dual-channel mode,the memory controller utilizes two 64 bit data channels, resulting in a total of 128 bits, effectively doubling the bandwidth to memory.

IF your mobo does support DUAL-channel mode, then the effective spped of your RAM modules is doubled, i.e if your ram module is rated at 400 MHZ, the dual-channel system will operated at a theoritical 800 MHZ..

@Manshahia please check before you post.
