    Is the memory in the X120e actually single channel? Not dual channel? I thought it was dual channel but I'm reading single channel.

    Both of the memory slots feed a single 64 bit channel, if that's what you're asking.

    So that is a yes then?

    What I'm wondering over here is, I had a GSkill 4GB PC3 laying around and I was going to order a second to run the full 8GB the X120e can handle. My thought was if the two sticks matched, I'd get the Dual Channel mode. Google is telling me this unit only runs in single channel though so having two mis-matched memory sticks, size wise, doesn't really matter.

    It is single channel just like all other AMD Fusion Zacate computers, so mismatching RAM sticks makes no difference.

    The Zacate platform doesn't support Dual Channel
