Default Re: AMD X2 Dual Core

holy moly!

That's a lot of memory! Isnt it cost prohibitive to do so? 2GB is cheap enough to get now,
but to get 4GB costs like $650. more than 2GB...

AMD processors use dual channel RAM, and in order for it to be dual channel you need 2 dimms. Because you would have 2 cores, each processor is going to need to have 2 dimms, which means you need a total of 4. 4 512MB dimms in a X2 system would be a crime.
