Explanation of Solution

Given:

Dual channeling is supported by a motherboard and it has two slots used in channel A.

Each module holds 1 GB. An additional 1 GB of RAM is installed in the motherboard.

To find:The system that will run faster: with single 1-GB DIMM in one slot or with two 512-MB DIMMs in each slot...

Students have asked these similar questions
The four DIMMs on a dual-channel motherboard are all different sizes. There are four sizes available on the motherboard. Do these DIMMs work with the motherboard? Do you have dual-channel support?    Because you have two RAM slots and two 2 GB DIMMs, your motherboard supports dual channelling. Put in 4GB of memory. Is it faster to use one 4GB DIMM or two 2GB DIMMs? What do you think?
Input sought on the following. The motherboard's dual-channel architecture makes room for four different DIMM sizes. The motherboard supports all four of these formats. Do these DIMMs work with the motherboard? Will dual-channel support be available?Since you have 4 GB of RAM total (two 2 GB modules), your motherboard should support dual channelling. You've made the choice to install an extra 4GB of memory. To maximise performance, you should install either one 4GB DIMM or two 2GB DIMMs. Defend your stance.
Please assist me with the following:   Dual-channeling on the motherboard allows for a selection of four different-sized DIMMs. All four formats are recognised by the motherboard. Are these DIMMs compatible with the board? Will it be possible to use two channels? Dual channeling is possible on your motherboard since you have 4 GB of RAM installed (two 2 GB modules). You've decided to add another 4GB of RAM. Which, one 4GB DIMM or two 2GB DIMMs, will provide you the most performance boost for your system? Justify your choice.
