Detailed explanation-1: -Essentially, if you run one stick of RAM in your computer, it will be running in a single channel configuration. If you run two sticks of RAM, they will be running in dual channel configuration.
Detailed explanation-2: -In other words, it’s not the memory you buy that’s dual-channel, rather it’s when you have two matching memory sticks. The motherboard uses both of them to run in dual channel mode. Each memory location splits across the pair to double the memory speed instead of being in one or the other.
Detailed explanation-3: -If you have two RAM sticks, you should use the A2 & B2 or 2 & 4 positioning, meaning the slot which is furthest away from the CPU socket and the other that’s one position away from it. If you have three sticks, you should position the third stick between the A2 & B2 slots.
Detailed explanation-4: -Dual-channel RAM is one version of multi-channel memory. All the versions of multi-channel RAM increase data transfer speed by adding more channels of communication between the memory and the memory controller.
