I recently picked up a cheapo laptop, it has an a8 4500m, from what i've read
the graphics will benefit 30% with dual channel ram, the installed ram is a 2g
and 4g stick of different make, cpuz states this is running in dual mode at 1600mhz... is this possible? as far as i know the ram needs to be same make and size, i was thinking of installing a 2x4g set of corsair vengeance dual channel kit
Is my laptop already running dual channel how it is now and will i benefit enough
to spend 60 bucks on the ram upgrade?
 
While it is in fact running in dual channel mode, you are right in thinking that it is not ideal though.

To be honest, you probably would not notice much of a difference at all by going to 2x4GB, but it is up to you to spend the money or not.
