help with memory installation 2

48gb is not a real ram amount, at least as a single stick of ram ( you can do one 32 and one 16, but there is no single 48gb stick).
As a speed/performance focus running two sticks in dual channel will always be faster. Your system would be more responsive and faster with 2 8gb sticks then it would with 1 16 gb stick.
Now if you are using the ram due to high demanding programs, 1 32gb stick would be better then 2 8gb sticks for the time frame that you need that extra ram.
Hope that makes sense (sometimes we do a horrible job explaining things to people who dont already know the answer).

In your scenario you should have both pairs running in dual channel.
For pure reliability issues one single pair is better then 2 different pairs, but since you have matched pairs in each channel you would get the full bandwidth (assuming you put the pairs in the correct slots).
Now unless you are using a very heavy memory applications like engineering simulators, then you wont use 32gb, even power users cant use more then 16gb of ram with heavy multitasking.
