Running your memory in Dual-Channel mode can be a hit and miss affair at times. The need to have matched pairs of ram sticks can pose problems for some people. Once you purchase your expensive matched ram, some systems still refuse to run stable in dual-channel mode. The SIS655FX chipset attempts to overcome this by use of what it calls 'Flexible Dual Channel'. This feature allows users to mix & match memory sizes and odd numbers of sticks to operate in Dual Channel mode. Accelenation put this new chipset to the test to see if it does what is claimed.
