Dual Channel
Can a motherboard that supports dual-channel memory support plain RAM?
I am building a computer, and the motherboard I plan to get supports Dual-Channel RAM. I want to save some money by buying RAM that is NOT Dual-Channel. Would this work with the motherboard?
RAM is RAM, there is no such thing as plain RAM or special RAM
Placing RAM sticks in alternate color coded slots gives dual channel performance
Place just a single stick of RAM in slot #1 will give you the "plain" RAM effect
