Re: Dual core settings

Dual channel memory is a bit more expensive than single channel and is
installed as pairs which should have been pre-tested as a combination.
Windows XP was written before dual core architecture became a reality. I
think I'm right in saying that XP doesn't take much advantage of it-you'll
need to wait for Windows Vista for that.
