HP dv6tqe RAM (DIMM) question

[Wolfborne]

I see where it comes with a free upgrade to 6GB 1333 RAM (2 DIMMs). Does anyone know if this setup is 4GB+2GB or is it 3GB+3GB DIMMs? The online live chat rep said it was 4+2 but then the phone call rep said it was 3+3. Can anyone confirm?

I thought RAM had to be identical or it would cause problems (if 4+2). Does Windows 7 (64 bit) make this problem obsolete?

Do they even make 3GB RAM? It comes are 4GB + 2GB.

It usually in the powers of 2 and divisible by a multiple of 8 * n.

They don't have to match really.

The only time they have to match is for true dual channel mode in both capacity and timings.

But Intel has a clever little old tech of that make it look like in dual channel mode.

It's 4GB and 2GB.3GB dimms are used only in triple channel which, i assure you, no mobile cpu supports

And as Falco said,they only need to match in frequency and timings.
