Hello, I'm new to this forum.
I bought just one stick of the Corsair Vengeance 4GB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz ram b/c of budget issues but plan on adding another soon. I noticed this stick was deemed 'single' channel, other 4GB sticks of same Family/Model were called 'Dual channel'...is this function the fact the other sticks came in pairs ("dual" ), or are they functionallly structured to operate different from say buying 2 4GB sticks of 'single' channel memory?
Will two 4 GB sticks of 'single' channel Corsair memory behave as dual channel if paired together?
If they are different, can you mix 'single' and 'dual' channel memory sticks? I'm told dual channel memory works faster.
excuse the novice-ness of the question but I'm painfully new to all of this terminology...but I'm find these forums fascinating, never knew they existed. All advice greatly appreciated.
