So if your mobo supports dual channel RAM, match them in equal pairs, or if triple channel, match in triplets. I'm sure someone else can provide more detail than that, but it's my understanding.

I have a 16 GB package arriving soon (4 x 4 G sticks). =A0Currently, that m= achine has 8 GB consisting of 2x2G sticks, and 4 x 1G sticks. (It has 8 slo= ts for a max of 32G.)

Is there any downside to having four matched 4G sticks in the same machine = as two 2G sticks and two 1G sticks? =A0I hardly see people listing 22G in t= heir MacPro.

Does it matter? =A0As long as they're all 800 MHz ECC FB-DIMM:R, just d= ifferent sizes?
