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
 
Solution
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
