Hi guys,
Just wondering if it really is worth the extra 100 bucks to add another 8gb RAM to my board. I'm currently using 6 x 4Gb sticks of Kingston HyperX memory KHX1600C9D3K3.
I'm quite happy with the setup but the need for speed and the extra 100 bucks I have kicking around is tempting. So will adding another 2 sticks to fill all my ram slots give me a noticeable and worthwhile improvement?
My P9X79 Deluxe is a quad channel board and from my understanding all this means is that the board works best when only four slots are used and not all eight. Am I correct in that assumption? And ifso, given that the memory controller is built to handle up to 64Gb, will filling up all the memory slots result in better performance?
