ok, I m about to buy a 'self configured' laptop for moderate gaming and adobe publishing , photo editing purpose (using a big second screen). I d go for a standard i7-4700MQ processor.
I read on wikipedia about quad core (which I suppose the i7-4700MQ is)
quote : "DDR3 Quadruple-channel architecture is used in ( . . . part left out . . .) The architecture can only be used when all four, or a multiple of four, memory modules are identical in capacity and speed, and are placed in quad-channel slots "
Does this mean that all 4 ram slots should be used (occupied) to take full advantage of the quad core ? And would this make a big difference against only 2 slots used (with lets say 2 times 8GB).
Hoping for some easy to understand :$ answers.
