DDR4 will be here soon and it puts the axe to dual-channel memory, with DRR4 you can choose any DIMM slot you wish but if the motherboard has 4 DIMM slots then all 4 slots must be filled for DDR4 to work as intended, think of each DIMM slot as an unpopulated lane in a 4-lane hi-way, each DIMM you populate opens another lane on the data hi-way..,

Where do you get this "consensus" from... I've seen nothing of the sort... Speeds can go up, but the latency is going to be higher than the kit your running right now (unless its a garbage 2133 kit). I'm not that excited about it as the...

popular consensus says that DDR4 will be 2 x faster than DDR3, i would not call that improvement 'hardly noticeable' but we shall see, i am using DDR3 @ 2133MHz on stock clock and it's damn fast, i can't imagine improving on it but like you said for most of us the gains will be hardly noticeable..

I'm not that excited about it as the baseline DDR4 kits will already be slower than some not very expensive kits of DDR3 that exist today.
