I have a question about the Athlon 64 3400+. I heard something about this processor accessing only one channel of memory. So my question is, if I have 512 MB of RAM (2x256 Sticks), will it only access one stick of 256 Mb of RAM. What's the deal when they say it only accesses one memory channel, any explanation would be great.
Thanks!

The AMD 64 3400+ Has a memory controller built in to the processor... when they say it only access one memory channel... they are talking about a memory channel on the processor itself!

So in ref to your question: if I have 512 MB of RAM (2x256 Sticks), will it only access one stick of 256 Mb of RAM?

it will still access both sticks of ram as every other processor does.

hope this makes sense

:)

Dont think you can, know you can
