i'm getting a motherboard that takes ddr3 1600 ram. but it has four ram slots.
- someone tells me that for ddr3 there should be slots equal to a multiple of 3 (like there should be three slots or six slots. ... since i have four slots it would mean that i would have one set of three, but with an extra slot that doesn't have two more to go with)
- for example, ddr2 should have two slots, or four. and ddr3 should have three slots, or six. or at least that's how i understand it
-- ...is this true? does the fact that it's ddr3 mean that having four ram slots is stupid?
i mean ddr3 is the only ram that this motherboard takes so it would be kinda weird if it doesn't even work with it... but?
