I'm thinking of upgrading my p4-2800 512mb pc's memory. Since I am using one single 512mb memory now, updating to another 1G mem (2*512mb) makes me unable to achive Dual Channel Mode(MB is i865PE chipset).
Is it that important to get the dual channel mode as it would significantly boost memory's bandwidth? Also, my old mem is kinda low in spec. If I abandon it, I would get some tight timing new mem. In other words, is it better to have 1.5G slower single channel mem or 1G faster double channel mem? Any input is really appreciated.
