Hello, everyone.

I own a retro PC with a P4 3000mhz currently running on a GIGABYTE GA-8TRC410MNF-RH motherboard.

What bothers me is that this motherboard doesn’t support dual channel memory, and strikes me as a budget-friendly option. I’d like to upgrade it down the line to something more performing.

What would be a good alternative?

Note that its form factor is Micro ATX and my computer’s case is sized to match. I can’t fit a bigger motherboard inside it.

According to what I searched up it uses a Radeon xpress 1150 chipset, with 2 slots of dual channel ddr2-533mhz ram up to 2x2gb =4gb, supporting 533 and 800 fsb CPU's up to Pentium D's apparently (idk exact ones)

All I can find about it is an older thread on the Anandtech forums saying that ATi chipset doesn’t support dual channel. Where did you see that it does?
