I'm questioning dual channel

[J doggy dog]

Question I have 4 sticks all the same (just ripped from different sized servers but still the same) ram and a dual channel motherboard for budget reasons would it utilize the two extra sticks.

Yes, you can run the 4 dimms in dual channel mode.
(The computer just uses them in 2 sets of 2.)

Luckily I took it from a server and each one was 4 GB and they were new enough to get me 2 decent xeons (it was a e3 1220 not a a 1220 v5 or v3 it was just a e3 1220)
