You should use four sticks that are the same, or at least as close as possible. If you use 3 best case is that two operate in dual channel while one operates in single channel. If they are different types your system will try to use the best compatible speed and timings which could be rather low and run them all in single channel.
no..i m asing about 3 of the same type brand n speed. can i use those ?? or should i mae it 4 to balance d dual channel ??
If you use three then two will operate in dual channel while the third stick will be in single channel as there will not be RAM in that fourth slot for it to pair with.
