[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 232596, member: 2960"] The Intel 945G is a desktop chipset that uses a Pentium processor. The Pentium is a single channel processor which is why it makes no difference if RAM isn't paired. Apple however uses the Intel 945G[b]M[/b] which is a laptop chipset. [url]http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/945gm/index.htm[/url] The i945GM uses the Core Duo. The Core Duo is a dual core processor and therefore needs the RAM to be paired for optimal performance. Yes you can used mismatched pairs, but you will not get the benefit of the dual channel. [/QUOTE]
