So I have this stuff http://www.ncix.com/detail/kingston-hyperx-blu-black-series-44-78421-1297.htm and I was wondering if I could just add another one and go quad channel. This is my motherboard http://ca.msi.com/product/mb/Z77AG43.html#hero-overview

 

For the motherboard it's the MSI Z-77 G43 non-gaming, just copy the link into your address bad. Not sure how to make it clickable.

Quad Channel? You won't be able to do that, however. You can run 4 DIMMS in Dual Channel. If that is what you mean, then yes.

Sure I just mean having 4 dims, so if my MOBO has 4 slots, 2 black and 2 blue could I occupate all 4 slots and get 16GB of ram?
