    Hey guys, I just ran CPU-Z, and I just found out that I'm running dual-channel (trust me, I'm not complaining, just curious). But I thought that wasn't possible with 2 different kinds of ram not being identical in size. Or does it just have to have the same latency's?

    I have a 512 MB stick from Dell, and a 2 GB OCZ stick that I bought.

    as far as i can tell, you are. however, the bus speed and cas latency slows down to the slower stick.

    You are running dual channel. Actually, it's asynchronous dual channel.
