Dual Channel Memory question...

I currently own one of these - an OCZ EL DDR PC-3500 512 module.

My mobo is 'dual channel' capable, and I want to take advantage of that, but I don't want to spend money on two new sticks of memory just to be able to do this. There's dual channel memory kits available, but they just look like a package with two of the same kind of memory stick that I own in the first place...

Couldn't I just buy another 512mb stick of the memory from my first link, and wouldn't that be 'dual channel'?

I want to buy soon, so any help would be appreciated...

yes.
 
This is one topic I really didn't expect to see again. I figured the 30 threads a day explaining it were enough. Wrong again, I guess.
 
Here's the 2 sets of specs: Only difference I see is .1 volts... Is that a real concern?

Excuse me your Holy Hardness, but I usually stick to the games forum and there's no search function to see if this question had been answered already...

:rolleyes:

It was asked 3 times on the first page of this forum. There's also a memory FAQ.
 
Djnes, if you see that it has been answered, then dont freaking post, your not required too so keep your bad attitude to yourself, forums are for questions and you come to this forum on choice so check yourself and think back a little bit to when you were a newb and cut some slack, bottom line, dont post if you have nothing to contribute.

It wasn't a little bit, it was 4 years ago that I started posting here, and I've always scanned the first 2 pages before creating a thread. What annoys me is the lost art of "self research". No one wants to do it anymore, and that's why we see the same threads over and over and over.
