DRAM Bus Selection

Common Options : Auto, Single Channel, Dual Channel

Quick Review

This BIOS feature allows you to manually set the functionality of the dual channel feature. By default, it's set to Auto. However, it is recommended that you manually select either Single Channel or Dual Channel.

If you are only using a single memory module; or your memory modules are installed on the same channel, you should select Single Channel. You should also select Single Channel, if your memory modules do not function properly in dual channel mode.

If you have at least one memory module installed on both memory channels, you should select Dual Channel for improved bandwidth and reduced latency. But if your system does not function properly after doing so, your memory modules may not be able to support dual channel transfers. If so, set it back to Single Channel.
