Hello Guys, I have a HP Desktop PC which i bought in 2012.
Its specifications are -
CPU - Intel Pentium G630 (2.7Ghz, Dual core)
Motherboard - some foxconn OEM mobo, dont know its model but includes two RAM slots.
RAM - 2GB DDR3
GPU - Intel HD Graphics 2000
OS - Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.
So as i have 64 bit OS and the 2GB memory isnt enough for it and i also like playing low end games like Assassins creed 1,2, Brotherhood,revelations, 4 Black Flag and other games like Devil may Cry and Darksiders. So i need to have adequate VRAM for my Integrated GPU and dont know how much RAM i need to add for it.
If I add 2GB RAM stick then i will get Dual channel speed but if i add 4GB ram stick then ill get 6GB of RAM without dual channel but more RAM.
Also please do not suggest me to buy a dedicated GPU as im planning to buy a Gaming Laptop after an year or so with a Pascal Gen GPU. Thus i have no interest in adding dedicated GPU and just want to play casual games at around 20 fps lowest settings. And i'm not going to buy 2*4GB sticks also cause I dont have enough budget for that cause I'm buying a Moto G4 Plus with it also.
So help me to decide between whether i should add 4GB RAM or 2GB ram in it?
Thanks!
 
Solution
That motherboard supports upto 8GB ram, DDR3-1066 and DDR3-1333 speed ram sticks are supported. Supports 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB DIMMs.

So get 4GB(2x2gb) so that it works in dual channel.
