    I have 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM installed in socket 1 ((of 4) on my motherboard,
    and 4 GB in socket 2 as recommended by Gigabyte for Dual Channel mode.

    I want to increase my RAM to 16 GB. I could add 4 GB in socket 3 and 4 GB in socket 4, or a single 8 GB module in socket 3. Would it make any difference apart from a single 8 GB module being $10 cheaper?

    There's people in alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt and alt.comp.hardware
    that will gladly answer your question.
