Memory for Intel 2.4 800

[johnnymk]

Do you have to use dual channel memory with this processor?

[Bires]

Have to? No.
Should you? Prolly. I have found that running dual-channel memory is a nice boost for things like video/MP3 editting and recompressing, but the speed boost in everything else (including games) has been nill.


(I based this on my 400SC-512 single PC3200 vs 2x512 dual)

Run dual for little extra boost but you don't have to.

So, two sticks of 256 MB memory are better than one stick of 512 MB?

Also, minimum speed? 3200?
