While studying for my certification exam, I learned that for

I believe it's slightly faster to run in dual-channel mode. It's not gonna hurt anything either way so why bother with single-channel?

Of course it matters.

I figured it was slightly faster considering...yknow thats what dual channel does. Was just curious, as to what the real difference would be.

You're...fucking with me...right?

So you're telling me that by taking out my that one stick and putting it in the corresponding slot to match the other stick will give me a performance increase as shown in that picture? Or am I misinterpreting what that is supposed to show me.

Yes. Put matching sticks in slots of a matching colour.

I'm not kidding, in cpu intensive games like Battlefield 1 you'll see a huge increase in performance if you switch from single to dual channel.

>its better to put those two sticks in the same color slots.
Sure, but they can't just be any slot. They have to be the first slot for that channel. Then you will operate in dual channel or quad channel if your processor supports it.

Well fuck. Thanks a lot to everyone who replied. Gonna jump in a few different games to see if there are any noticeable performance changes! If thread is still alive, I may report back, though I'm sure no one cares.
