With hard drives, you can put them in a RAID 0 configuration to split data between drives to increase read and write speed. Is there an equivalent of this for RAM? If I have 16 GB of memory, for instance, can I split it into 2 8GB sections and implement striping across them? Note: I am not talking about using ramdisks at all. I am not trying to treat ram as hard drives but rather to speed it up. I have heard that there is a RAID 1 equivalent for RAM called mirroring, but I have not heard of a RAID 0 equivalent.

          This is called dual-channel mode – at least in some implementations thereof (see "ganged mode" in the article).

          • This is why it's often better to have two 8GB sticks instead of a single 16GB stick, for example - as both 8GB sticks can use more available memory bus bandwidth.

          • The speeds also need to match. That's why RAM kits come in pairs, so that you just drop them in as pairs. If you mixed 8 Gb sticks, then it may lead to instability if they're at the same speed as written but have slightly different tolerances.
