Are there any drawbacks to dual channeling? How to buy memory?

1 First of all, get rid of a misunderstanding.

Dual-channel is dual-channel, not dual-channel memory, but a memory control technology between the motherboard and the CPU. Memory on the market can be used to form a dual-channel, as long as your motherboard supports it.

2. Advantages of dual channels.

1) It can bring 2 times the memory bandwidth, so that those software that must exchange memory data frequently can get great benefits, such as Spec Viewperf, 3DMAX, IBM Data Explorer, Lightscape, etc.

2) When the onboard graphics card shares memory, the high memory bandwidth brought by the dual-channel technology can help the graphics card get a smoother speed in the game, taking 3DMark2001SE as an example, the gap in its score can be widened to 15-40%.

3. Disadvantages of dual channels.

1) It must be built on a motherboard that supports dual channels, and there must be two memory modules of the same capacity and type. Intel's dual-channel has high requirements for memory type and capacity, and the two memory sticks must be identical. The dual-channel motherboards of SIS and VIA allow different capacities and types of memory to coexist, as long as there are two memory sticks.

2) The dual-channel memory control technology has a very small gap with the single-channel in ordinary games and applications.

4) The connection of the double channel is very important for the first hand, once the connection is not correct, the double channel will not work.

5) Dual-channel memory architecture, which is difficult to overclock, which affects friends who like DIY overclocking.

There is no disadvantage of dual channels, and the group of dual channels should buy memory modules with the same frequency, otherwise they will be identified by the small one.

Buy a set of strips and there is a memory particle Hynix is good.

Theoretically, dual-channel processing speed is twice as fast as single-channel. The main difference is in read speed and processing power.

Dual-channel memory technology is actually a memory control and management technology that relies on the chipset's memory controller to function, theoretically doubling the bandwidth provided by two memory of the same specification. Because the two memory controllers in the dual-channel system are independent and complementary intelligent memory controllers, they can operate simultaneously with zero waiting time between them. This complementary "nature" of the two memory controllers allows for a 50% reduction in effective wait time, doubling the bandwidth of memory.

In terms of read speed, a single-channel memory can only read or write at a time; Dual-channel means that the memory can be read and written in different channels, and the memory bandwidth can be doubled at the same time.

In terms of processing power, dual-channel has an advantage over single-channel in terms of reading and writing, and it is definitely faster than single-channel in daily opening software or documents. For example, when running some large games, it was a bit difficult due to memory bandwidth problems, but the performance improvement brought by dual channels can be clearly felt.
