Evening all.
Not sure how many times this has been covered, but I am thinking I have a new slant on it. Check the sig for system specs. I am running an AMD FX-8150. Currently running 4x 2GB RAM. Looking to upgrade to either 16GB or <gasp> 32GB (cheap enough atm).
Now, I was always told on forums and such that unganged unlocked the RAM to single channel allowing for each core to have it's own stick of RAM. So how does that work with an 8-core CPU? My mobo only holds 4 sticks of RAM. Would I be better off with 2x sticks or 4x sticks? I am running an OC atm. I know I've had issues in the past running 4 sticks of RAM and OCing. Was hoping to go back to 2 sticks. But would rather sacrifice a couple hundred MHz for twice as much RAM. Ideas?
Thanx all.
