MERGED QUESTION Question from Tin Cheung : "dual channel mobo have 4 memory slot"
Tin Cheung :
what does that mean when u install 4 memory stick on it?
If you install four matching memory sticks, you still have dual channels, but simply have more memory. Installing into all four slots does not double your memory channels, you will still only have single or dual channel modes of operation. Does this help?

The Genie is an 1151 mobo, you can try adding 2 more sticks though there is no guarantee they will play with the old sticks, best would be if current is 2x4GB get a 2x8GB set
