Hiya)

Ive got a MSI 848P Neo mobo

Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb DDR

400W PSU Q-Tec

Silent solution kit for cooling

DDR400 'PC world own brand' opps, ya i know((

Got all that in the case at the mo, and just got a P4 3Ghz 800FSB on order...(Whoot!)

I'm wondering if i am using single channel DDR memory would be underclocking my cpu?

....and how would my system compare if i 'did' get a dual channel mobo with paired memory....would the upgrade be worth the 300 or so quid to do it?

Thankies in advance)))

Boo!

forget about paying the extra 300, what a waste of cash. you don't need dual channel and it wouldn't be effecting your CPU.

Athlon XP 2000+ 1674mhz
DDRSDRAM: 256mb 133mhz, 512mb 200mhz
Shuttle:MK32n junk mobo
160GB WD
40GB seagate
LG DVD-RW
RICOH CD-RW 32x10x40
3x blue,Green led case fans
blue led b

You just wasted the money on P4 3ghz if you use single channel board; 3200 vs over 5000mb/s is the difference.

P4 800 dual channel memory bandwidth is similar to A64 in dual channel; while AXP does not mean much with dual channel.

So, i guess in single channel, i would be underclocking the fsb on my pcu to 400Mhz..

Say, if i got a dual channel mobo and memory, i would then utilise the the 800 FSB on my P4

Is dat correct??

Boo!
