Wonder if people can help.
Im building a cheap home media server probably based around a G1610 & Asus P8Z77-V LX mobo (reasonably good power saving choices).
However I have triple channel DDR from an old i7 920 build I had a while back and wondering from the board point of view - while I know it will physically fit - will it run worse compared to some newer budget dual channel DDR 3 I buy specifically for the new board?
(is it worth buying a single channel 2GB stick for £20 to make the treble channel set up to 8GB?)
