install more memory and dual channel mode
install more memory and dual channel mode
I added a second RAM module to my x230. Now it contains 2 x 4 GB DDR3 modules. Is the configuration ok to support dual channel mode now? Apparently dual channel mode is ideal.
Please refer to the attached screenshots I made by running CPU-Z program.
Thank you.

Re: install more memory and dual channel mode
Yes, and you can go up to 2x8GB=16GB.

Re: install more memory and dual channel mode
The question is:
Are the two rams modules now working perfectly together to support dual channel mode?
I notice the two installed modules have some differences in design, see the photos that can be picked up using the link above. Thanks.

It says: channel: dual, so it's dual channel.

Re: install more memory and dual channel mode
You wrote and I quote: "It says: channel: dual, so it's dual channel."
My notebook has its first 4GB being a single single rank memory module. It should be faster than the second 4GB module (being a dual rank memory).
Do you mean this difference will not affect dual channel operation?

Re: install more memory and dual channel mode
Dual channel either works or it does not.
And even when it works it's pretty meaningless for overall performance.
