My motherboard (Asus something-SLi -- lemme know if it's important and I'll
try harder) supports interleaving RAM, so if you get two identical sticks
and put them in the right slots, you get faster access (the BIOS implies it
and MEMTEST86 says so, but I haven't timed it) than if you had one
double-size stick. There are four slots, so I guess I can go up to 8 GB.
