Not sure of the best way to upgrade my ram. I have 4gbx2 dual channel with 2 more slots free. Not sure if what I do makes a big difference in deciding this. I mainly run games with overlays, mods & streaming. I will typically have afterburner and its related processes, steam or origin, sweetfx, overwolf, xsplit, mods depending on game and browser tabs open at once.
Should I buy a single 4gb stick or a dual channel 4gbx2? 4gb more will be enough. I heard about single sticks making things worse. Does this matter since I already have a dual channel set? Do 2 different sets of 4gbx2 dual channel work the same as a 8x2?
I'm using ddr3 1600 and an i5 4460. I don't want to spend a lot because I will probably upgrade to ddr4, skylake or newer and mobo in 12-18 months.
