Line 59:

So, perhaps it should be added by someone who knows the answer. I'd like to know if RAM, in a dual-channel configuration, continues to run at the same clock speed or not. For example, PC-3200 RAM runs at 200 MHz. Would it continue to run at 200 MHz in a dual-channel configuration? It seems like I've read before that the speed drops in half (100 MHz in this example).

:Why should the speed be cut in half ? In Dual-channel both PC-3200 sticks are still operating at 200 MHz as long as they are compatible to each other and the memory controller likes them, too. --[[User:Denniss|Denniss]] 11:38, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

:Your memory would only down-clock if you mixed it with a slower chip. For example, if you put in a PC-2100 chip in there, all your ram would run at 133 MHz.
