240-pin DDR3 DIMM Banking:
4 (2 banks of 2)
Max Unbuffered DDR3 SDRAM:
16GB
My speed seems to be 1333MHz as indicated by the Performance tab in Task Manager, but I'm not sure if that's just reading the current situation or if it just interprets the maximum.
Since it says that I can have 16GB max, that's what I'd like to do. So should I just shop based on that information and look for 2 8 sticks, or should I get 1 16 stick? Or is this a 4 4 situation?
Thank you for all of this help by the way. I'm so close to solving this issue that's being plaguing me and I'm really grateful.
No problem. So you have to do dual channel which means you need either 2 x 8Gb (I recommend this) or 2 x 4GB (to add to what you currently have). Your RAM has to be installed in identical pairs always.
If you go 2 x 8GB you are tossing your old RAM completely.
I recommend a brand like Corsair if you have a choice btw.
