Good god, you are loving handicapped, single channel doesn't mean it's bad!

You still never answered my question of why apparently one stick is bad or shouldn't be ran with someone getting an AMD 7770. I explained and backed up the things I've said, all you've done is call me out.

1 stick of 8GB is slower than 2 sticks of 4GB each.
I think it's because the 1 stick takes longer to load and use because of the higher amount of memory compared to the 2 sticks that are being used simultaneously for the same thing.
I could be wrong but whatever.
Edit: I just noticed that the AMD 7770 part makes no sense. RAM doesn't affect the GPU's performance at all.
Tokthree:
Why advise someone to purchase a single 8GB stick of RAM when you know that 2x4GB would give far greater performance overall? Why advocate upgrading beyond 8GB when it's extremely unlikely that the person you are advising would be doing anything more than playing some games? You're basically advocating and spreading the absolutely idiotic notion that anyone who just plays games will need any more than 8GB of RAM on his rig even a couple of years from now.
The reason that you are stupid, don't know what you're talking about and are giving bad advice is that you're advising this user to waste his money on something he either does not need at all or on something that gives far poorer performance than an equal alternative and also potentially driving him to advise other people to do the things you advised him to do which is perpetuating nonsense

Take it easy Alt, Tok. :s
If it accepts single-channel memory I think you'll find the difference between one or two sticks will be trivial in terms of speed.
