I have 4 GB of soldered RAM and 8 GB in the DIMM slot but CPUZ and HWiNFO both say that it is running in dual-channel mode. Is this possible or are both programs wrong?
 
Solution


i.e. it's confusing partial access manipulation with dual channel. Still say the software is just confused and isn't reporting the correct information ;) Usually the bios will tell you that it's flex mode

your laptop/cpu-z is confused. unless you need things other than games, it's just something you'll have to live with
