Hello all,
My current emachines G640 supports 8gb max (in 2 slots) of RAM. It currently has 2 x 1gb (2gb in total). I've been looking to upgrade and found a special offer on 8gb sticks (unfortunately not 4's).
My question is will it be able to run 1 x 8gb in 1 slot and take the other one out? It's unclear whether each slot supports a max of 4gb or whether it's purely about the total capacity of 8gb.
(I understand the duel channel concept but that's not of concern here).
Thanks in advance.
