dual channel or PAT

[NiTCOM]

Hey, what do you guys think brings more performance:
Running the memory with PAT oder dual channel?
I might get a stick of 512 mb instead of my 2x256 so I can ran DUAL
I'm wondering how it compares to the PAT mode.

thank ya.

I thought dual channel was PAT. I run 2X256MB, and the fastest my memory can be is running PAT w/ absolutely no o/c. Any sort of o/c at 1:1 drops memory performance significantly. I really don't reach PAT levels of memory speed until I hit 260MHz FSB, but even that's lower. It's also rock stable, I was getting the occasional BSOD with PAT enabled.

pat is just an 875p addition to dual channel.

You cant run PAT in SC mode. If you are getting a DC board, run DC memory.
