Ok please someone smarter then I answer this question.... Ok all things being equal in this hypothetical situation... lets say I have a mobo with 4 dimm slots and I have 6 sticks of ram say 4 x 1gb and 2 x 2gb all speeds and timings are equal. Would there be any advantage to use 4 sticks of ram over just 2? The total amont of ram is equal (4 and 4gb) but does band width increase with more dimms populated or does it just become 2 stick and 2 stick duel channel? Thanks for your answers...
