This spec sheet has left me confused:
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product...id=4881#sp
I want to run one of these as a low power FreeNAS server.
It says that supported RAM is dual-channel.
I thought that the Bay Trail SoC memory controller only supported single channel. I'd rather use single channel, as I can pop in a cheap 4GB SODIMM and then add another cheap 4GB SODIMM when I can afford it, but if dual-channel is possible then I might be tempted to buy a matched pair. I think it's misleading.
Is 8GB also the maximum addressable space on this board, or Bay Trail in general?
Thanks to anyone that can clear this up.
