laptop - 4gb single channel vs 3gb dual channel


So, I am looking into a new laptop, and I have 2 choices on RAM.


There is a 3GB Dual Channel DDR3 1333 in one system, and there is a 4GB Single Channel DDR3 in another.


So my question is, is it better to have more RAM and single channel, or less RAM and dual channel?



Answer



From my point of view, 4GB single channel will be better.


There is a very small number of applications ever capable of reaching the speed limit of a single channel, while more memory will be better for all applications.
