No it means that at any given instance it will be to one pair or the other. It will still use all four sticks but not at the same instance. It will pick a pair for each task switching between each pair depending on space on the sticks etc.

lets say that i will be installing gskill ripjaws 1333 mhz 8gb (2gb x 4),if i put all four sticks, the cpu will only read two sticks (4gb)? so the other two sticks will be useless? is that it? i'll use fx 6300 processor by the way
