I think you mean unganged.

What I found.

Quote
It is amd's version of Nvidia's Locked vs unlocked architecture.

basically allowing you to use your ram in dual channel vs single channel.

Ganged = dual channel mode for ram. All cores get access to 100% of the ram.

unganged = single channel. Each core gets access to a stick of ram.

In theory, the unganged mode is better as each core will get access to data quicker. In theory.

look at the ram that is in your computer and get the same type, it'll say like DDR3-1333 or something

So just get DDR3 ram does not even have to look the same as my ram right?

Yes, but it should be the same speed (for example, 1333mhz should be paired with 1333mhz). This isn't required, but your RAM will be only as fast as the slowest DIMM.
To prevent problems, you should generally get the same type of RAM you already have. If that's not possible, try to get RAM that's the same speed, timing, latency and voltage as the stick you already have.



The best way to deal with your problems is to plant a C4 in close proximity to it.

it shows what speed it's running under the bios, and you can figure out what line of ram it is by looking at the heatsink if there is one.

Thing is, it should run paired with even 2 sticks.
If you motherboard has 4 slots, make sure the sticks are in either;

In the same color slots,
Read the manual to see what is the configuration,
Or Try different combinations yourself.

You won't need to open your BIOS. Just download this, open cpuz_x32, and click on the Memory tab in the window that appears.
Under Timing, DRAM Frequency is the speed of the RAM. FSB:DRAM...ignore that. The timings are the next four values. If it appears as (for example):
9.0 clocks
9 clocks
9 clocks
24 clocks
Your RAM timing is 9-9-9-24.

Go to the SPD tab, and on the bottom (just above the buttoms) should be a column labelled Voltage. This is your RAM voltage.
