No, it means that 2 one-gig modules in same-coloured slots will
theoretically work better. I have one module in a dual-channel mobo
and
it works ok. Most desktop/workstation mobos do.
No, that's not correct. If the mobo DIMM slots are colored, you put
one
DIMM in each color slot for dual channel operation, not both DIMMs
in the
same colored slots.
I believe different manufactures follow different conventions. For
some it's the two in same-color slots, for others in different-color
slots. When in doubt, check the manual
One, I work with hardware everyday and I've assembled more computers
than I can count. Two, Stan, I find your remark pretty offensive,
really. Gigabyte, Asus, Intel mobos work by the principle 'same colour
== dual channel'. Please check your facts before trying to sound elitist.
Checking the wiki page again, it says,
"If the motherboard has two pairs of differently colored DIMM sockets
(the colors indicate which bank they belong to, bank 0 or bank 1), then
one can place a matched pair of memory modules in bank 0, but a
different-capacity pair of modules in bank 1, as long as they are of the
same speed."
Which says to me that if I have a board with 4 memory slots of which 2
are colored light-blue and 2 are colored black and 2 1GB modules of
identical speed, then I place both modules in either the light-blue
slots of the black slots.
Checking the manual of this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131636
it colors the DIMM slots blue/black/blue/black
labeling them DIMM_A1,DIMM_A2,DIMM_B1,DIMM_B2
and says that 2 DIMM modules can be placed either in A1 + B1 or in A2 +
B2, that is either in the 2 blue slots or in the 2 black slots, but
preferably in the 2 blue slots.
