I have 1 gig of crucial 184 pin ddr ram in the form of two 512mb sticks. My mobo (asus p4c800 E deluxe) offers up to 4 gigs, doesnt support ddr2, but has a feature called dual channel.
I need to add more ram to my computer i am using photoshop and it is regularly using 2.5 gigs of ram, and i dont have physical ram to feed that much.
ALSO- i am looking to get ram that can be oced, but i have a problem i hear that if i dont have the same sticks on every port for ram the mobo wont use the dual channel capabilities.
So what do you suggest, should i trash the two sticks of 512 and opt for 2 gigs of ram (because that is how much im looking for) but i dont want to cover all four ports, so id need to get two sticks of one gig ram, that can be oced. So which ram/ ram solution do you suggest.
