Dear Community,
There is a laptop SATELLITE L855-11P which has really nice tech specifications but I am in a doubt about its 6 GB RAM. I used to be interested in hardware and maybe I am an old fashioned guy but..Is it possible to make dual-channel with 4+2? I searched in Google and read about positive answers. But! Is that really a dual-channel system? Isn't 4+4 better in terms of speed? I mean, 6 GB is enough for me, I won't use any hard apps except Eclipse and games. Main thing for gaming is video card and processor in this case (6 GB is enough for it I think, I don't believe that they will use for than 60% of my RAM in worst case). What do you think about it? Do I miss something?
Anyway, my main question: Will performance of 4+4 improve the speed in a sensible manner (not in tests! but real apps) comparing to the same system but with 4+2 configuration of DDR3 RAM?
p.s. It shouldn't be in "Overclocking" section, but I didn't any other suitable. Other "Motherboard and Memory" required subsection about brand...
