My motherboard is a low budget one with only 2 slots for ddr3 ram up to 1600hz, So the qustion is should i buy 1x8 GB or 2x4 gb. Im limited in my money so i cant afford more. Is there difference between 2 ram sticks in both slots or 1 ram but more powerful in one slot. Single channel 8gb or dual channel 8gb (2x4).

Thank you! (sorry for my english its not my native)

Go with the single 8GB unless it's much more expensive.

1x8gb. It really doesn't make a difference, but you have the option to get another stick to make 16gb of RAM in the future
