Memory producers already began to release three-channel DDR- 3 complete sets , although their platform LGA 1366 will be presented only on 16 November. But what about those who already has a good dual-channel DDR3 memory , Is it really required to switch to the three-channel?
As explains associate, Bloomfield processors can work, also with different memory modules . The main condition, which ensures the peak output, consists in the use of identical capacity modules in one channel. The capacity in different channels in this case can be different. For example, motherboards with six DIMM slots can include the following memory configuration : 1 X 2 GB + 1 X 2 GB + 2 X 1 GB.
It is known that Intel company equipped its motherboard DX58SO only with four DIMM slots, but in this case it supports the three-channel operating mode. The first channel in this case relate the two first DIMM slots , to the second and third is isolated one slot DIMM. Consequently, it will be possible to attain peak performance from this motherboard , after installing , for example, in the first channel two modules with 1 GB, and in the second and third : one module with 2 GB volume.
