athlon 64 dual channel ddr?

[l77Il7H]

does athlon 64 have dual channel ddr ram support? i am a bit confused becuase tom's hardware say that only the athlon 64-fx have dual channel support.

No.

I think I have read somewhere that socket 939 will have dual channel support.

that is wierd. even nforce 2 have dual channel ddr, i don't understand why a more advanced processor won't have it. i guess it's pointless to buy a pair of ddr instead of one if i am buying athlon 64?

only the amd 64 fx-51 has the dual channel support, but the price is crazy high

Current Socket 754 Athlon 64 only have single channel, the FX-5X range are dual channel, but you need registered ram,

When A64 goes socket 939 it will cut the cache from 1mb to 512kb, but have dual channel unregistered support

I have the FX-51, and it has the Dual Channel memory. I also have a 3000+, and it does not support the dual channel memory.

The Socket 940 (Athlon-FX 51 & 53) have Dual Channel support but only with registered RAM.

The Socket 754 Athlon 64's only have single Channel support, but No FSB because of the On Chip Memory Controler which means they outperform Dual Channel solutions implemented by the 32bit Athlon XP's.

The future Socket 939 CPU's will have dual channel support without the need for registered RAM. They should be out end of june/early july.
