| Foxscotch:
if it does, the site doesn't seem to mention it I know that it has four slots, though would it still be cost-effective to just buy two more 4GB sticks anyway? if it would make a noticeably big difference, I'd be fine with just buying two 8GB sticks and giving my current ones to someone else then again, maybe I should continue with my plan to upgrade my processor next, to an intel cpu. but that would require me to switch out the motherboard too, which I don't think is ideal |

Actually using 4 sticks of 4gbs is a bad idea even if your board supports quad channel its actually faster to use two, as two 8gb sticks are better than having 4 4gb sticks. |

The less sticks the faster the memory. You want at least 2 to use dual channel. |
