Do the Socket 754 mobos support dual channel RAM, or does it matter?

 

[YiffyGriffy]

Nope, no Dual Channel

 

[zokus]

Whats the benefit of dual channel?

 

[Denmor]

Increased memory bandwidth. From what I heard its only about a 7% increase according to Anandtech.

 

[YiffyGriffy]

No, it's actually about a 40-60% increase in bandwidth, but only about 5-10% real-world performance gain. Again, my point that Socket 939 is just useless, stick with Socket 754 and get yourself a ClawHamme;, a 2.3GHz ClawHammer Socket 754 will be just as fast as a 2.4GHz FX-53 in real-world gaming.

Hmm, doesn't seem to be a biggie then

I listened to griffy and went S754... Saved me some moneys... More than some moneys... Many many moneys.

yeah 754 is the way to go for budget 64 bit computing

To tell you the simplest way of Dual Channel its like a 4 lane freeway vs a 2 lane freeway
