I recently found out that I had my 2 RAM sticks in apparently a ‘wrong position’ (side-by-side).
Someone pointed out that they needed to be placed in alternate slots.
I read my motherboard manual, I tried doing as much research as possible about this but all I got from that is that the alternate placement puts the RAM in ‘dual-channel’ mode and is somehow better.
I haven’t got any clear-cut/simple explanations as to WHAT ‘dual-channel memory’ means or WHY it’s better.
Someone please ELI5.

If you have 16gb of ram rated for 1800mhz (for example) running it in single channel will run it at 900mhz if running in dual channel it will run at the rated 1800 mhz as long as your mobo can run it at that speed.
