Sorry, newbie question lang.
I just bought an HP a6640d desktop. According to the specs sa HP website, DDR2 Dual Channel memory na siya, 800mhz, tapos with 2 memory banks, pero only 1 slot is occupied.
2gigs lang kasi memory niya, tapos on-board pa yung video, so I plan on buying an additional 2 gigs of memory (para 4 gigs na siya) and a separate PCI-E video card.
Problem is, bakit yung nakikita kong dual channel memory sa websites 2 sticks? Paano pa kakasya yun eh only one memory bank is available? Puwede ba pag-haluin yung dual and single channel memory modules? Baka kasi mali ang mabili ko, sayang lang ang pagod.
Baka may PC techies dyan, patulong naman.
