If you have a 1 x 512MB 533Mhz DDR2 RAM -your effective FSB is 533Mhz.
If you use 2 x 256MB 533 DDR2 RAM with dual channel, your effective FSB is 1066Mhz.
The total memory is the same for both cases, but just the difference with the FSB.
With dual channel, this allows you to achieve 1:1 ratio with your processor (assuming it's your CPU is Core2 Duo -1066Mhz)
Sorry got noob question, If you use 2 x 256MB 533 DDR2 RAM with dual channel, your effective FSB is 1066Mhz.
The total memory is the same for both cases, but just the difference with the FSB.
With dual channel, this allows you to achieve 1:1 ratio with your processor (assuming it's your CPU is Core2 Duo -1066Mhz)
Is it that important to achieve 1:1 ratio with processor ? What if I dual channel 667 /800 Mhz ram.
That would make effective FSB 1334/1600 . Is that no good or it has no beneficial effect ?
