Got the 4GB Samsung installed. Windows and BIOS shows the 8GB but not in dual channel mode (DC Mode) according to CPU-Z:

Weird thing is CPU-Z shows my main rin (in my sig) isn't running dual channel either!?

Channels: Dual

:confused:

I know that's what I thought. But I googled around and others are getting the same problem.

Another thing. I was running the Super Street Fighter 4 benchmark using High Performacen power option with AC plugged in. CPU-Z showed my CPU at 3Ghz as expected. I unplugged the AC during the benchmark and even though CPU-Z showed 3Ghz my FPS dipped from 85fps to 45fps.

Does this mean whenunplugging the AC adapter the Lenovo Edge E520 switches to the Intel graphics card from the AMD 6630m?

EDIT FIX: Go to Graphics Properties and set PowerPlay to Maximum Performance in the battery section. Damn this thing has so many power options!
