Stupid nforce2 Question

To use this motherboard do you actually have to use two memory sticks in it?

I downloaded the asus pdf manual and saw this

I'd assume that the board will run with only one dimm just won't have the benefit of dual-channel.

Your signature says you have a A7V8X?Thats not an nforce2 board.Stay with the A7V8X its more stable too.

Opps. I wasn't refering to my motherboard I mean any nforce2 motherboard.

So going off of what Drive says you can use just one ram stick but you need two (duh) for the dual channel op. I just wondered if it required you to have two sticks.
