    I ordered my Beats 14 with 6 gigs of memory.
    Is their a down side to having a 4 gig stick and a 2 gig stick?
    I read some place that its best to have 2 matching sticks. I will have the
    i5-460M processor.

    or will it not matter? :cool:

    Thanks

    It's negligible , you be using Intel Flex Memory Tech which is almost comparable vs true dual channel 2^n ram, if you got the Intel version.

    No downside. The value of 6gb vs 4gb outweighs true dual channel vs flex tech.
