Hi. I recently bought G.Skill Ripjaws RAM off ebay. It said that it was dual channel 8GB so I got it. When I received it, i only saw 1 stick so I was confused. I looked at the sticker on it and it says that it is an 8GB stick (4x2). How can this be, it is only one stick? I put it in my PC and the BIOS only recognises 4096MB so I am really confused. Please help. Thanks

If you can post a link to the Ebay post then we can tell you if it was just a mis-read or if you got screwed.

I thought it would be all g becuase he got 100% pos feedback

 

Send him a msg and tell him he only shipped one stick since the post says 2 sticks of 4GB
