Dual channel ram

[T07N]

How does this work? What's the point?

WELCOME TO XTREME!!!

to answer your question, dual channel ram uses 2 sticks of ram similar to 2 hard drives in a RAID 0 array. it doubles the theoretical bandwidth.

Thanks for the welcoming and the answer to my question!

What about DDR2, does it transfer 4 times per clock?

[felix88]

actually DDR2 is just DDR that can achieve much higher clock speeds.

i believe the GF FX5800 and 5900 use it to hit those 1000MHz memory clock speeds.

DCDDR or Dual Channel DDR also gives you a 128bit mem ory bus as opposed to 64bit on SCDDR (single channel ddr)
