Can someone please confirm this? Wanna get 4GB ram for my new pc setup, and asked a guy at a pc store about ram and motherboards. He said that if a mobo has 4 ram slots and can run dual channel ram (2 slots are green, 2 slots are black for this example), I HAVE TO get 4 sets of ram (4 x 1GB), otherwise dual channel wont work. So he is saying both colour slots must have same ram in it to use the dual channel? (I know it must be same make of ram...but thats not to do with this)
So that means, according to him, that I must get 4 x 1GB sticks of ram to make use of a dual channel mob??

But I thought you only need to use either both the green slots, or both the black slots, and you dont have to use all 4? You could stick in 2 x 2GB ram instead. So if you have 2 x 2GB ram and slot 1 into each of the green slots for example, it will run dual channel. If you put 1 ram in green, and 1 ram in black...it runs single channel?
Am I right, or is he right? Get the feeling they were trying to take me for a ride?
