Ram channels question?
The laptop I am thinking of buying has an intel hm87 mobile chipset and 3 ram slots. When I google for info about the ram some sites say that it has dual channel ram. I am not sure I believe that. Generally I see motherboards that run dual channel ram and have slots in multiples of 2 and are color coded. Motherboards that run triple or quad channel ram also have slots in multiples of 3 or 4 and are color coded.
My question is if the chipset runs dual channel ram what happens when 3 ram sticks are used? Does it run all 3 sticks at single channel?

the difference between 8GB quad channel and 8GB dual channel is almost zero... just fill up the ram slots as the change in performance from different channels is not noticable
