Right. So I don't know if that's in dual channel mode or not. Yes not sticks but I am certain mb can be configured to run it that way. I don't know if 4x64bit is kind of like 4x2gb

I read all the recent Gateway laptop discussions.
I see no evidence that Gateway soldered ram is configured in single-channel.
Here is a cpu-z screen shot of my Gateway laptop (8GB soldered ram). ...

Ok.. let's examine how far we've moved the goalposts.
We started by comparing this $300 overpriced, memory-hobbled, economy-grade construction device with known issues (see above) to cheaper,...

I agree with you that some people rather considerably overestimate the weight of their buying power :lol:
As for MBP or SURF, yeah I'd still say don't buy. It's $300 man, and these days computers...
