When configuring a high-performance workstation that supports triple-channel memory architecture, which of the following is the BEST method for maximizing the memory bandwidth provided by the motherboard?
Installing identical memory modules in sets of three per channel
Filling all memory slots with mixed capacity and speed modules
Using one high-capacity memory module per channel
Installing one memory module in the first slot of each channel
Installing identical memory modules in sets of three per channel maximizes the bandwidth because triple-channel architecture takes advantage of the increased throughput provided by using three data channels. This configuration allows the memory modules to be accessed simultaneously, improving performance over single or dual-channel setups. Incorrect answers include single or dual-module installations, which do not utilize the full potential of triple-channel architecture. Having a mixed set of memory modules can cause the system to default to the limitations of the slowest module or can even cause incompatibility issues.
