Hello,
I currently have a 4x2 gb ram setup and I need to upgrade to 16gb.
Will an Asus z97-a motherboard support 4x4 (16gb total) ram? I think my ram is in a "dual channel," if I add 2 more of the same sticks, will the new rams be in dual channel as well?
Is there any downside to using 4x4 vs a 2x8? Should I just order another set of the the same ram that I have currently, or go for a 2x8 setup? The speed on the ram is 1600, should it be the same speed as the new ram I install? Does ram speed even matter much?
