Greetings.

if i am reading your post correct you would like to know that if you leave one of the memory slots free then your system will not perform good?

It will perform fine with just one memory slot filled with the 2Gb ram.

what Operating System are you running?
as Windows XP does not like more then 3Gb ram.

But if you have Vista installed then you can easily put another stick of 2Gb ram into the spare slot if you want.

You will not get dual channel support for your ram seeing as though it is only 1 stick. I fail to see how this would affect your CPU directly.

I suppose your CPU wants more but the RAM is holding it back ...

Hi Teabags it has been a long time

The PC performs good no issues with that but the problem is that whether it will give me the full out put i mean the best performance?

It will perform fine with just one memory slot filled with the 2Gb ram.

i want full utilization of core2duo

what Operating System are you running?

i am using XP

hi Cider How are you its been long time

You will not get dual channel support for your ram seeing as though it is only 1 stick. I fail to see how this would affect your CPU directly.

This is exactly what i am trying to ask if i have installed 1 stick i n one bank and other is empty then would i or would not i get the dual channel performance??

I suppose your CPU wants more but the RAM is holding it back ...

Actually i dont have any idea of this question



but what i want to ask is to get a dual channel performance should i get other stick and install to get a dual channel performance

[Cider]

Yes you will need 2 banks, installed in dual channel mode (check in your manual for this setup).

I.E - Just get another 2G and your system will be great.

It has nothing to do with XP vs. Vista but with 32bit vs. 64bit.

Yes i agree to Sirdice with this
even i forgot to notify that



so can ne one tell me if i put 1 GB instead of 2 GB will that be fine or i have to install sam amount of ram in both banks

bcoz as it is my it will use only 3 GB in total

You probably want to upgrade the BIOS on the motherboard and try again. I think your system is fine, it should not waste resources tracking 2 banks constantly.

I knew what i meant, it was making sense to me

Just make sure that the ram stick are the same frequency and it should run fine.
