Just going back the last 8 or so years....

socket's 1156, 1155, 1150 can run single and dual channel ram
socket 1366 can run single, dual, and triple channel ram
socket 2011 can run single, dual, triple, and quad

Someone correct me if im wrong, never owned a AMD computer, but I don't think amd does anything over dual channel.

Now in reference to your ram. Take all the sticks and look at them. With all of them installed the computer will run them all at the lowest MHz speed ( in this case 800MHz) and whatever the highest timing numbers, since you didn't state those I don't know. You have about a 80% chance that you can run all the sticks together, even if you do get it to work it will plague you with problems. You will be...

You will be forcing the computer to run in dual channel with the 2x4GB sticks and then running the other two 1x4gb & 1x2GB in single channel. Unless your doing some video editing/ cad work you don't really need more then 8GB of ram.
