I'm looking to use some existing components to upgrade a prefab HP, and I'm confused about the memory situation! I thought dual channel was supposed to run two sticks of the same speed, yet this prebuild system is running 2, 4, 2, 2 Gb sticks, all at the speed shown in the CPU-Z screenshots below.
Is that really dual channel?
Does it make sense to upgrade those sticks for the new mobo, or not? If so, recommend what?
Any other compatibility issues? I've build quite a few computers in the past but memory always throws me off.
