Title: Dual-channel memory Post by: Meni Rosenfeld on March 12, 2011, 07:13:56 PM Will mining performance suffer if I forgo dual-channel RAM and put just a single stick? I know system memory is considered inconsequential for mining, but I wondered if that might be taking it too far.
If it matters, I'm thinking about Intel's Sandy Bridge platform. Title: Re: Dual-channel memory Post by: Grinder on March 12, 2011, 07:33:03 PM CPU mining is pointless these days, and a 5% increase in performance wouldn't change that.
