Hi All
A further question about memory upgrade for intel core 2 duo 2.16g iMac.
I want to up the memory on my iMac from the standard 1gig to 3gig, in order to run either Parallels or Fusion. I have decided where to buy from with the help given in my last post....however, I have just read on the web that I will loose the benefit of having a dual channel processor if I don't install memory in matching pairs. Does this mean that if I install 3gig (1x1g & 1x2g) that this will be the case?...do I need to be limiting the memory to 2gig (2x1g).
Also, do I need 3gig to run a VM with ease or should 2gig be fine.
Many thanks.
Philip
