Dual channel can have better performance than running a single stick and the cost of the 2 sticks is probably similar or less than the 1. Also keep in mind that memory should be bought in pairs in order to take advantage of the dual channel feature. Edited August 31, 2012 by Merlin007 WiZiD 1 Awards
