My current setup is a P6T SE ASUS motherboard, which supports three channels.
I have these three channels partially filled up with 3 x 2gb of DDR3 1333 mhz RAM.
I have just bought this : http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00569K7LM/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
I was wondering if I could leave one older 2 GB RAM module in so my three channels would be atleast partially filled up with 2 x 4GB and 1 x 2GB.
From what I know the speed of your RAM is based on the slowest module, not on the fastest. So my real question is, what is more effective: to fill in 2 channels with just the 2 x 4GB or the fill up all of the three channels with 2 x 4GB and 1 (slower) x 2GB ?
Thanks in advance !
