You don't need to change anything; with 4 out of 6 slots populated, you can't run in tripple channel mode, and the performance hit is small. If you want tripple channel mode, then fill up the last 2 slots, but I don't think it's worth the money with memory prices so high. And according to the diagram on the left, all 8 gb is being detected.

I would recommend getting the 2 more sticks when you can get a buy - memory is marked down on sale from time to time = keep checking tigerdirect.com - I think the best service and price on the net.

@reconic

TRIPLE channel is called triple because you have to install the ram sticks by 3. So either go with 3 sticks or 6 sticks.
