AMD Trinity with mixed memory modules?

[MeesterBungle]

I have a cheap little laptop with an AMD A10-4600M APU in it. It's a surprisingly decent little gamer, although that isn't primarily what I bought it for (I do occasionally game with it when I'm on the road though).

I'm bothered by the fact that this laptop has mixed memory modules - it has a 2GB stick and a 4GB stick. Does anyone know if I'd see any measurable difference in gaming performance if I got two matching sticks of 4GB RAM? My guess is that my memory is currently running in single channel mode because I don't have a matching pair. I've read that these APUs will use almost as much memory bandwidth as you can throw at them, so I'm considering an upgrade. I can't find any benchmarks done with unmatched RAM though.

2+4GB will give you almost the same performance as 4+4GB,
it works in dual channel for the IGP memory at least with this combination.

That is exactly the kind of benchmark I was looking for. Thank you very much! I was expecting the asymmetrical setup to perform worse than it did compared to the symmetrical setups. Definitely not worth the money to upgrade my RAM for a few extra FPS here and there.
