i have an asus m5a78l-m/usb3 mobo...problem is would i get better performance out of a single patriot signature 8 gig stick...Vs two Kingston value ram 2 gig sticks..1333 spd on all ram or put 12 gig into it..cpu is phennom 2 quad core well actually its a athlon am3+ 420e 2.6gig unlocked to a phennom b20e what that is i have not checked exactly..but it runs fine at 2.86 ..and i run linux mint on it Rebecca with kde....
 
Installing 2 DIMMs of the same size, speed, latency and voltage is preferred (both in channel A or channel B).
A = 2 slots closest to your CPU socket
B = 2 slots farthest away from your CPU socket
If installing different size, speed, latency DIMMs, install one in channel A and the other in channel B.

2 DIMMs of the same brand, size, speed, latency, voltage, in channel A = :thumbsup:
 
thanks blain..but i will only have 4 gig compared to the 8 gig stick of patriot..i know i have ran the 2 x2gig sticks before and had no problem..just that the 8 is larger i dont really want to mix ram i never like that option..i will put the two 2 gig sticks in the system i may not notice any difference but i will have to see... thanks in advance
