Ok I just put two 4GB PC-10600 1333Mhz sticks on the bottom slots (2 and 3) of the G73sw making my Total RAM to 12GB ( I know I wont probably notice any difference from 8GB to 12GB unless I do Vdeo Encoding and stuff...but the RAM was dirt cheap I couldnt resist)..I didnt want to do the ones under the Keyboard cause its going to void my warranty...
According to Intel the Core i7 2630QM supports
-DDR3 1333Mhz RAM 16GB Max ( the HM65 Chipset will accept MAX 32GB, but I guess the Processor can Only support 16GB effective usage)
-Dual Channel Support
My question is...since ...
Dimm 1 = 2GB
Dimm 2 = 4GB
Dimm 3 = 4GB
Dimm 4 = 2GB
How does Dual Channel work in this manner...Does 1 and 4 run in Dual channel and 2 3 the same?
