    3 ram modules better than 4 in a 6 core x5690 tray?

    I have recently upgraded my CPU from a QC 2.8 to 6 core X5690 I understand I can add slightly more faster RAM in there Currently I have 16gb ram which is fine (4x4gb) Would the MP function fine if I added 3x8gb or 3x16GB modules instead of using all 4 modules. Would there be any power saving...
