Obtain RAM specifics for running in Dual Channel Mode.

#1 Post by chuckenheimer » Sat Aug 02, 2008 10:31 pm

Is there a good utility that can analyze your onboard RAM to verify each's specifications so as to obtain the appropriate RAM and enable the Dual Channel support in my TP?

Thanks!

CPU-Z will tell you if dual channel is enabled. There is no way to turn it on, it is enabled by default if the chipset supports it. What machine type/model are we talking about here? TTBOMK, only T43 (R52) or newer supports dual channel RAM. Even at that, it's not supported in integrated Intel GPU T43(R52) models.

I'd read that perfectly patched pairs of DDR RAM would run Dual-Channel even in my A31p. Apparently not, I never even saw an exact dialog box on CPU-Z showing it disabled. Maybe I'll experiment around with a configuration file.

Thanks!
