It's been a while since I've been near a computer in a technical way. Need a little tuneup on something as I'm a little rusty. My question is regarding Dual Channel and also how memory works in dual channel.
My first question is, when a system is running in dual channel, does it split the load of memory amongst both sticks, or does it first load up all the data onto the first stick, then when loaded, sends the remaining data to the second stick?
Example: 1.5GB of data needs processing, does it send the first GB through the first stick and the remaining 500mb through the second, or does it split the load @ 750mb per stick?
My second question will be...
If the system does not support dual channel, and you had two sticks, by using the example above, how will the data be processed?
Thanks!
