My aspire xc-605 came with a single 4GB card.  If I replace it with 2 matched 4GB sticks, will the bios recognize it and run the memory in dual channel?

  • Hi,

    Your computer could be upgraded upto 16GB & has 2 Slots for the same, specs: SDRAM DDR3 1600 MHz.

    Sorry, I may not have been clear. I am aware how much memory I can install. My question was will the bios and/or motherboard support running identical sticks in the faster dual channel mode as opposed to single channel?

  • Hi,

    I dont find much difference between single channel & Dual channel, the Effeciency of the single channel RAM with 2 or more sticks & dual channel is roughly around 20to30%,. so using a Single Channel you could still get almost the same desired output,. As per your question, Yes the Mainboard should support Dual channel with ease.
