Hi, i have 2 Samsung 2gb ddr3 1333Mhz/9-9-9-24 1.5v
I have ordered 1 4gb ram ddr3 1333Mhz/9-9-9-24 1.5v
So will it work.?
The new ram will be kingston or other company not samsung , says the shopkeeper.
And is it better to buy 2(2gb sticks) and use all 4 channels or buy 1 4gb stick and use 3 channels?
Whats the advantage and disadvantage of using 3 channels.

Lol I started this topic when I wanted new ram I thought 1x4gb would work. But then I bought 2x2gb as shopkeeper said more performance. In between I did say it worked fine but u guys said it wont work so I asked u why it wont work?.
Yes it shows 8gb but I don't actually see a boost in gaming. Maybe in future it might benefit.

Shouldn't you have total of 8GB for 2 x 2 + 2 x 2?
Also check your computer properties if it shows 8 Gig.
Also all this confusion starts when you mentioned 2 x 2GB + 1 4GB stick
and now you saying you have 2 x 2GB and 2 x 2GB from another brand.
You should have mentioned if it worked or not, in the first place. Lol... unless if you are trying to prove something, I am not here for that, just giving solutions.
Either way if it worked then you are all okay then... lol

hi
Since you already have 2 x Samsung 2GB which is = 4 GB
You shouldve instead ordered another 2 x Samsung 2GB (exact same brand) = 4GB
netting you 8 GB in total and filling all 4 Ram slots with 4 x 2GB Ram Sticks.
basically 4 ram slots with each slot having 1 ram stick with 2GB Ram from Samsung.
having 2 x 2GB Ram sticks in 2 slots and then 1 x 4GB ram stick in 1 slot won't work.
as what i7Baby already mentioned.
