2x $60.99 = $121.99
My question is, should I get only 1 2GB package (2 x 1GB) of dual channel, and then get 2x 2GB of non-dual channel. I figure (without much knowledge on it) that the dual channel can handle the stuff that dual channel would be needed for, and then I have 6GB instead of 4GB for the most intense applications. Or am I wrong and should keep it how it is with 2x the 2 x 1 GB so 4 1GB sticks of dual channel?
