Was wondering if 4 sticks of 4gb ram is better than 2 sticks of 8gb. I had heard it was and was wondering if it that big of a difference and if there is an advantage to doing that? Thank you
Yep, if mobo supports it, 2x8GB much better, less stress on the MC (memory controller) and actually just a hair faster as only 2 lanes to run instead of 4
If your board supports 8gig sticks, that is what I would get. Less parts doing the same thing, less chance for problems. Unless price is a big concern.
