I've made many topics here and I finally got the $$$ to get 2 Gigs of RAM for my PC.
Two questions...
A) Would Dell Dimension 4600 memory work on a Dell Dimension 4600i computer?
B) What is dual channeling? Crucial.com states my PC does not support it. I would have in slots 1 & 2, 2x 1 GB of RAM, then in slots 3 and 4, two 512 modules. Is Dual Channeling a 1 512 and a 1 1 GB stick next to each other, or is it two different sizes of RAM in the same system? So, since my PC does not support Dual Channeling, can I still do 2x 1 GB sticks in slots 1 and 2 for example, and 512 and 512 in slots 3 and 4? Or is this dual channeling? Or is dual channeling like for instance a 1 GB and a 512 in the same pair of slots. I'm confused!
Thanks!

P.S. If I can't dual channel then I'll just get 2 GB... the third GB isn't really worth it, from what I've heard the extra GB will make an increase but it won't be too significant, in my opinion, the money for the second stick could go to new speakers! I've had these old ones since 1999! Along with the huge ass monitor. Urrg.
