For dual-channel to be enable, you must have same same memory on two different channels, alternatively

#

its saying i have 2 modules but for some reason 1 module

#

im confusedi have 16gb but it says i only have one stick?

#

but i put 2 in

Example, here you have 2x 32GiB @ 3600 MT/s on ChannelA-DIMM1 and ChannelB-DIMM1

  Device-1: Controller0-ChannelA-DIMM0 type: no module installed
  Device-2: Controller0-ChannelA-DIMM1 type: DDR4 size: 32 GiB
    speed: 3600 MT/s
  Device-3: Controller0-ChannelB-DIMM0 type: no module installed
  Device-4: Controller0-ChannelB-DIMM1 type: DDR4 size: 32 GiB
    speed: 3600 MT/s

#

im gonna look at the ram rq

tall totem

this si how the mainboard report memory, so...

#

coarse condor
#

Something or other

#

Oh wait a second I put the 8 GB + 8 GB in the other laptop oh my god

#

I'm so silly I'm so sorry I need to look at the other one

#

I have two laptops of a very similar model

#

anyway, this one or the other, I doubt they are dual-channel capable

iirc dual-channel is when there are 2 sticks handled by 2 different controllers

laptops can boot with 1 ram stick it's only for performance
