2 of my machines have cheap h81 boards with 2 dimm slots that currently have 2 x 2GB DDR3 modules in each machine
I am acquiring 2 x 4GB DDR3 modules (same make, speed and timings as the existing 2GB modules)
As these machines only run BOINC would I be better off making each machine have 6GB (1x4GB & 1x2GB) but lose dual channel bandwidth (I have no idea if bandwidth or capacity is more beneficial for BOINC) or just put the new ram into one machine?
Currently both machines are using virtually all of the 4GB physical ram they have installed but both have sata3 ssd's so the virtual ram / page file is reasonably fast.
