I was just wondering, would 4 sticks of 1gig RAM in dual channel be more faster (more performing) than 2 sticks of 2gig RAM in dual channel. Just one of those questions that pops out of your head just like that :pt1cable: .

It's easier to use 2 x 2 GB than 4 x 1 GB. 2 x 2 GB will overclock more.

2x2GB is better. It tends to be more stable, it's easier on the memory controller, and it allows for the option to upgrade to 8GB in the future :D
