I just purchased a new Dell Dimesion 9100, equiped with a dual core 830 cpu, and 2- 512mb of memory. Wanted to get 2 gigs but Dell's price for the other gig, was a gig.
I have 4 slots for memory, 2 which will be used. The memory is 240 pin, DDR2. Must this memory be installed in pairs? If I install a 1 gig memory stick will the computer recognize it as 2 gigs. If I only install the 1 gig stick will it operate in dual channels or only single channel? Does that really make a difference in performance?
Thank you
