using dual channel DDR2?
If you have a dual channel capable MB and don't install properly matched RAM
modules, the dual channel function ceases and the overall score drops.
bank 0, slot 1 and bank 1, slot 1 must match;
bank 0 slot 2 and bank 1, slot 2 must match
if the latency is different, different number of chips on the DIMM, etc,
dual channel will not function properly.
