Ram experts I need your help.

I would like to know whether these 2 products can be ran at dual channel on my laptop.

Currently, I have this installed, a 1GB Samsung DDR2 PC5300 667MHz SO-dimm ram.

But I can't seem to find the same one at shops.

Maybe of trying Kingston.

Do you guys think they will work fine together?

Hey guys, i would like to find out whether my laptop is running at dual channel.

I got

1 x 1GB Kingston PC5300 667Mhz DDR2
1 x 1GB Samsung PC5300 667MHz DDR2

Here are the screenshots. Can please help me verify? Thank you.

Does the channels# under the Memory tab in CPU-Z signify I am on dual channel? It says dual.

What is ram latency??

Though you'd be a ram expert.

QUOTE
A delay in transmitting data between a computer's RAM and its processor. Since RAM is not necessarily fast compared to the computer's processor, RAM latency can occur, causing a delay between the time a computer's hardware recognizes the need for a RAM access (initiates a request for data) and the time the data or instruction is available to the processor. If the CPU requests data that is not stored in the cache, then it will have to wait for the RAM to retrieve the data, opening the door to latency problems.

Here's a good guide on ram latency.

Normally, generally lower latency is better.
