Hi guys, needed some help working out a upgrade strategy.
I have the Asus sabertooth 990fx R2.0 and I wanted to know if my mobo is dual channel or quad? it has 4 slots but I read that despite having 4 slots it'll work in a dual channel config, so does this mean I can only have 2 ram sticks or could I potentially have 4 sticks but they will work in a dual channel?
Also this may have been better in the memory forum section but it is kinda relevant to my mobo, would I be better getting a 2 sticks of corsair vengeance (2x4=8gb at 2133mhz) and maybe add 2 more sticks of (2x4=8gb @ 2133mhz) if this is possible.
or is the 'gain' of faster ram not as good as say.....
2 sticks of 8gb (2x8gb @ 1600mhz) patriot viper 3 and upgrade to 32gb with the same in the future?
I suppose the main question is, is this possible with my board to have 4 sticks or will I have to have only two sticks?
Both deals are around the £80 mark. So less gb and faster or slower and more gb?
