GF8200A v1.0 Memory performace question.

1, What is "DCT Unganged Mode" ?
Answer : DCT = "DRAM controller". For DDR products, DCT0 controls channel A DDR pins and DCT1 controls channel B DDR pins. However, the processor may be configured:
(1) to behave as a single dual-channel DCT; this is called ganged mode;
(2) to behave as two single-channel DCTs; this is called unganged mode.

2, When use AM2+ CPU and 2 memory, for get best performance, follow setting is correct or not ? set "DCT Unganged Mode" at "Auto（Ganged Mode）" mode, plug-in memory in slot 3 and slot 4.
Answer : According to AMD's information, the unganged mode will get better performance than ganged mode.

3, When use AM2+ CPU and 1 memory, for get best performance, do we need to plug-in memory at slot 3 ?
Answer : Yes.

4, If use AM2 CPU, for get better performance, do we need to set "DCT Unganged Mode" at "UngangedMode" mode ?
Answer: AM2 CPU does not support this function.
