I agree with Mike.
As Gary posted previously.
Dual channel requires at least two RAM cards, one card for each channel.
The channel is the pathway from the RAM slots to the CPU.
Dual channel will get better WEI and RAM benchmark ratings, ie Maxxmem, than single channel.
Triple channel requires at least three RAM cards, and three channels on the motherboard. Also a supporting memory controller, CPU integrated for triple channel.
DDR: Double Data Rate
The number is for the type or DDR version, the RAM card architecture.
Boshko's motherboard H61 chipset severely limits OC options.
The default frequency for the CPU is 1066 MHz, so running the RAM at 1333 MHz is technically OC'ing the RAM.
If the UEFI has a setting for 1333 MHz RAM frequency and it crashes the system. My guess is it's CPU limited, he'll have to run it at 1066 MHz. There's not much noticeable difference in actual speed.
His motherboard manual doesn't show the necessary options under 'AI Tweaker Menu' to make any other adjustments to the RAM, no voltage options etc.
