I just built a more budget computer i designed for gaming, but have been interested in the Adobe Suite for quite awhile and have gotten decently comfortable with it . :lol:
Anyways I only have 4GB RAM in my PC (2x2). I was thinking when I got some more RAM I could do 4x4 for a total of 12GB, keep the dual channel and get more RAM out of it (Instead of another 2x2). Then I thought some more and i realized that this might stop me from having dual channel....
So can I have 2x2x4x4 and stay in dual channel? I know the benefits are small(er), but I was just curious...
My (Budget) Build:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
MSI 870-G45
AMD Athlon II x3 445 (Planning on a OC and haven't tried unlocking)
4GB G. Skill Ripjaw Series 1600
64GB Kingston SSD (200 MB/s)
1 TB 7200 RPM HDD
