Which of these statements is unique to dual-channel memory technology?
A) Detects and corrects errors on the fly
B) Installs in pairs for maximum throughput
C) Every memory module slot must be filled
D) Packaged as double-sided memory
E) My memory can’t remember what network is on which channel
The answer: B) Installs in pairs for maximum throughput
Dual-channel memory doubles the number of communication channels between the memory modules and the memory controller. The correction of memory errors on the fly is a characteristic of Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory, the filling of every memory slot is a characteristic of RAMBUS memory technology, and double-sided memory is a memory architecture, not an exclusive characteristic of dual-channel memory.
