Just a quick question. Sorry if this has been answered - my searches didn't turn up much usable info.
I have 2x8GB sticks of RAM on a dual channel mobo. One stick just died, so I pulled it, leaving a single 8GB stick. I am obviously expecting a performance drop from losing half my RAM, but I was wondering if the fact that it's dual channel memory left as a single stick would affect it any further. Would it be urgent that I replace both sticks ASAP, or would it be fine to run as is for the time being?
